not neon or anything like that. Just a usefull cargo light.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Are you talking location or style?
As far as location, I've been thinking about one on each side of the bay.

While you're in there, install a 12 volt jack or two for your portable components or maybe even an inverter for 120 V accessories.

I want to, I just have to research the equipment.

each side would work....What I'm looking for is a light that'll look good and mount easily in our cars. I want it to work off a door switch too.

u can always put in pair of cathode lights there
:D

Here are some pics of my cargo area mod, i installed 2 6" cold cathode tube lights in and wired them to the dome light switch on the rear hatch - it's since been modified so that each side has 2 6" tubes (it's much brighter) it looks super stealth, like stock (since it matches my oem under seat lighting) and provides plenty of light to be able to see at night :)

All you have to do really is just take a look at the cargo light area for the xA. It works off the standard door light and I'm sure it wouldnt be too difficult to have it installed.

hmmmmm..........I've never looked inside an xA! LOL!
guess I need to now, thanks.

BUMP

Someone posted pics a while back where they got another xB dome light and mounted it in the headliner in back. He just tapped onto the existing dome light for power and switching. MUCH cheaper than the xA assembly, I f I recall it was like 3X as much as the xB domelight.

Or you can do what I did, Mount 'em in the hatch:

4 LED bars in hatch, Cold cathode spirals over rear speakers. Plenty of light:

:twisted:

as abstract as this sounds, i was thinking about mounting two foglights at the bottom of the hatch that are multi-directional so when i open the hatch, i can point them inside to see what i'm doing or i can spin them around to light the area behind the box, i do some fiberglass work and usually it's outside in the dark so it's purpose would be well served in my case.....plus, if u block parts of the fogs, u can make it like a spotlight to showcase your sub or amp.....dumb kid always has dumb ideas.....

I went to Toyota and bought two new dome lights. One will be placed in front (to be used as a map light) and one in the rear. (Cargo area) If I recall, they were $23.00 each. I haven't had the time to install them yet but they look great. Will tap into the center dome light for power.

Sounds great! Hope to see some pix and even a how-to :wink: ! Do you have the part number for the dome lights?

I bought a dome light from the dealer and placed it in the back above the cargo area. My friend Manuel helped me to install it. He tapped the juice from the existing dome light.

And God said, Let there be light, and so there was! :)

there was a good install a guy did with a seprate dope light in the back...i dint have the link try to search for it

That is pretty sick looking...if you could, PM me some addt pics of them in the day light. I would be interested to see them in the day, thanks.

Great idea! :D
