Well I have owned the CX-3 now for 3 weeks and I have a overwhelming desire to supplement the boot lighting so I will be replacing the existing boot light bulb with a led bulb and installing a second led light on the other side the boot before the nights close in.
The glovebox light will be swapped for a led bulb as well, it took me a while to realise there was even a glovebox light.
Modifications
There is a kit for boot lights but not sure what it comprises.Simon DW wrote:Don't think there is an upgrade to boot lighting, I wanted to do that also. The only upgrade for boot comes as part of the interior LED lighting kit but it is still useless!

The LED lighting set I bought from ebay (not official) is plenty bright for glovebox, boot & interior.

I'd be tempted to go for a small motion sensor light like this:Simon DW wrote:Don't think there is an upgrade to boot lighting, I wanted to do that also. The only upgrade for boot comes as part of the interior LED lighting kit but it is still useless!

Whilst there isn't an official kit of extra boot lighting for the CX-3, the set for the CX-5 is here - https://www.mazda.co.uk/buying-owning/a ... 830V1620E/ Not sure how easy it would be to mount them in the CX-3.
Once you've settled on a 12v LED light fitting, and decided on somewhere suitable to fit it within the boot space, it will be a doddle to crimp pos. & neg. wires to the existing boot light wiring.

I used a couple of 12v white led trailer marker lights, used these in a number of vehicles in the past, just remember to wire them in after the boot light switch so that they can be turned off if you need to, I surface mounted mine.

If I need more light in my boot, I can use my small multi-led torch from Poundland that lights up the whole area very nicely indeed 
Has the bonus of being flexible so it can also light up the glove box area when required

Dealer confirmed today that no kit currently for CX3 boot lighting so may have think again, like this idea
