Its described as led 4d logo on ebay. Labeled for chevy cruze. Before i ordered it i compared the measurements and knew it was a tad bit bigger but not really noticeable. I did have to drill a small hole behind the badge to feed the wire. I located a 12v-On at startup fuse and wired to there and grounded. Ill take a night picture in a couple hours.

OEM bowtie is top and right picture. The new illuminated is bottom and left. So you can see the minor difference.

Nice! I didn't think I would like it, but I think it came out pretty good. Nice find.

Wow, I like that a lot. Few more questions for you:

Does the blow tie go flush against the trunk lid, or does it hover a bit past it?

Does the chrome boarder of the bow tie light up, or is the light source behind/separate the chrome boarder of the bow tie?

The bowtie is flat.... With the very slite curve of the trunk, it didnt fit flat but with some good adhesive i was able to flex it enough and hold it down. The chrome does light up... In the day time it just looks chrome. This bowtie is also a bit thicker meaning it is raised more then the oem.
