no gemini that i know of has a boot light standard, wouldn't be too hard to install, just use another interior light set up, and just wire it into your interior light, so that it has power and you can turn it on by using the switch, or if u wanted to go all out, send it to the auto electriction and get somethin fitted and also get them to set up a plunger like your doors so it automaticly comes on when u open your boot

HAHA if you guys look closly you'll see all the brackets for both the switch and light in the boot, holden just never installed them, they must have been in the plans or the body design but dunno what happened after that

its funny cos the camira's had em, and the other assistant manager at my work made a comment on not having a boot light cos his old camira used to have one, and josh i neva actually spent that much time in the boot of my car, so i never really looked for the brackets and stuff, but i dunno what happened if the stuff is there for it, but then again the gemini was a basic, cheap car, so mabey they though fuck it y spend the extra 2c to install them,

yer well thats it i suppose, by the time they ran another wire in the wiring loom and put a switch globe and fuse in it would cost a little bit but they should have been in the slx modals

I had a gem with one that i wrecked. I'll take a photo of the plastic thing it all sits in and post it. It was a TF, SL/X, had holden aircon, boot light, rear belts, taco dash, cloth seats, TAPE PLAYER, inside qadjustable mirrors (left and right), auto, only thing it didnt have was a sun roof. Quite an optioned gemini for $250. Engine was gone though.

My TF manual (Gegory's) has the wiring diagram and has the boot light wiring listed as Green and Red. I concidered wiring it in but got lazy.
