I’ve had my Octavia for a few months now, and am really enjoying it, apart from the rubbish boot illumination.  Two tiny dim lights, one of which only worked half the time (obviously a loose connection, easily sorted).

 

However, in my spares box, I found a couple of 3” 12V LED strips - see pic - which just fit under the side supports for the parcel shelf.  I put one each side, and the twin wires are hidden under the boot seal, and disappear behind the boot trim, to be ‘piggy-backed’ to the wiring for the original lights,which pop out easily for access.  While the LEDs were originally self-adhesive, they’d been in my spares box for ages, so I used number plate adhesive pads to secure them.

 

I was amazed at the difference, and no errors have shown up - presumably these lights are not monitored, as the one not working hadn’t shown up either.

I recall that mod being quite popular from the first Mk2's as it certainly made a difference.

Here's my effort.
