Switching interior boot lights, will it upset anything?

[sleepyfolk]

I always seem to be leaving my bootlid open for some reason or another and the pesky boot lights never go out, I don't think they're connected to anything that throws errors or says "light out" on the dash are they?

Just thought as I was pulling off all the boot trim to put it on properly and replace the clips, and refit one of the lights interior lights that I could put a switch in each one to turn them off - anyone foresee any issues?

Can't see an issue (no pun!).  The lights should go out when the car is asleep - or at least mine did  ???

I put some LED lights in the boot of one of our X5's- when the hatch is opened its like football stadium lights now..

Thanks fellas, LED - never thought of that, might draw a bit less as well

My x came with LED's fitted to every interior light fitting.
No errors showing and yes just like a football stadium and yes they do go out after some time with the boot open.
