I was also looking into putting an xA map light for the font, because again, at night, you can't see $hit up there. I'm pretty sure the wiring is the same so I think we could just tap into the existing dome light and have the other lights operate with the door switches also. Otherwise you could also use one of those led or cathode light kits and see if you can get an extra one in the back cargo area. chucksu 09-25-2004, 06:20 PM 1st Idea: http://www.speakeasy.org/~mdhewitt/lightmods/liftgate/liftgate-open.jpg 2nd Idea: http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/3/web/483000-483999/483098_56_full.jpg First picture is from: TheScionicMan Second picture is from: Piston Alan 09-25-2004, 06:38 PM I think Scion could have done a better job adding more lights. Even the one it comes with is really of no use to anyone up front. I'm thinking about adding some map lights from a Focus. Their headliner is about the same color, so the plastic surround should match our's as well. As for the back, I like the idea of lights coming from the side panels. I would think this would provide more useful light than if it were coming from above. chucksu 09-25-2004, 06:41 PM I think Scion could have done a better job adding more lights.
