For my first ride on my new Trike we went to Cooks Corner for a Friday night preview of the builds that were going to be at Born Free the next day. When we went to leave it was well after dark and one of the guys had a problem with his headlight. None of us had a flashlight so someone suggested using the light in our cell phones...duh. But because it was dark I had to fumble around in my Tour-Pak just to find the phone.
I decided I need a light in the top box and the next day was ready to pull the trigger on the Tour-Pak interior light kit for $119. But that is a lot of cash and it looks like it needs to be wired in. So I decided to take a different route.
I have a little LED light, the Larry by Nebo, and I made a bracket out of aluminum that I then JB Welded to the inside of the lid. It can be stored there and used there at night. Since then I found another light (see link) that is twice as bright, has strong magnets on the clip AND the base and is made out of aluminum where the Larry is made of plastic.
The light is plenty bright to illuminate the contents of the Tour-Pak, and the magnets are strong enough to securely stick to metal and be used in the case of a night time break down.
