This is a really simple modification, which I gleaned from reading the miata.net forum.
When I did the NB interior conversion in my NA, I somehow had managed to buy a second NB interior dome light which I'd forgotten about. I figured I'd make use it of it, and turned it into a boot light. The light output, however, left something to be desired. After a quick read around, it turns out that the light is actually a Mitsubishi part, and there's a clear lens available for it.
The factory lens is top, and MR951527 from a nearby Mitsubishi dealer, below it.
The light output is significantly better than it was previously, in both the boot and the cabin. The difference is really difficult to capture on camera, though.
They were approx $12 each.
