Nic.
One fixed light is enough. It gives off plenty of light and no one ever sits back there anyway. It's nice when unlocking the doors at night, the whole passenger compartment lights up.

I'll pull my SVT out of the garage tomorrow morning & shoot a pic of the Mystique rear light . IMHO , the Mystique rear light is MORE than enough , unless you're planning on having people sitting back there reading maps/books  . Having a light back there (whichever kind) is really nice . No dark back seat when you're trying to find something  .

No doubt , Kremit , no doubt .
I pulled the SVT partway out of the garage & shot a couple pics . Not the world's-greatest , but it's hard to get a decent pic up there .
PIC ONE
PIC TWO
BTW - I don't remember if it's mentioned in the How-To , but with the Mystique rear light , there's a clip on the light itself that snaps into the (already exhisting) square hole above the headliner . That's what holds that one in place . I just sold off an extra rear light that I had lying around ,or I would take a pic of it .
Just an FYI - To get the headliner down to look at the square hole , pull down on the round clips in the headliner with your fingernails (the 2 of 'em near rear window) . That will pull out the center "peg" of the clip (it's a 2-part clip) . Then you'll be able to pull out the clip & pull down on the headliner to see where you need to cut .

my rearson for using the maplights in the back is so that i can have the main light blue, and iv always got the white lights if i need it. Iv got 24blue LEDs in each, so its very bright. I can also have the blue and white lights on to make the white even brighter

Thats ok mate. I dint think you were. It was just the statement abt there being no advantage to it unless you have people in the back of the car, so i thought id give a reason. Oh yeh, soon i will be able to switch all the interior lights in the car from blue to white with 1 button. Good for being able to see, plus it stops the old people (parents) from moaning abt the "funny light" lol
