Little Liftgate Light Mod

[Mikana31]

I added some LEDs and a switch to my Liftgate. Pretty happy with it. Will be nice for camping or just to find things in the back with just the window open.

Let me question convenience. Too bright light behind. When you look for something in the trunk, you yourself will cast a shadow on the things inside, against the backdrop of bright light, this will be very unpleasant for the eyes. It is better to add light from above in the ceiling of the trunk, or in the side pillars. And for camping, it's better to keep the door closed so as not to let in a crowd of insects)))

The interior dome lights light the other side if needed. This is a great idea when you want to just add some extra light to what we already have. I've seen it done by a few members here and it works good. You can also wire them in to come on with the dome lights so it's automatic when you open the liftgate.

My cargo area is dim as heck. It looks like 2015 and possibly 2016 models had a 4th row LED dome light that was eliminated sometime for 2017 or 2018 models maybe.

I have the cargo area lights in my 23 ls tahoe. It works well enough for my needs currently.

Here is mine mounted on the top, and I tapped into the 12V outlet in the back, mounted the switch right above it.

Nice work . Did the same on my Tahoe. Then I used a pair for footwell lights for the 2nd row. So much better and convenient it’s crazy.

I have a factory dome light in my cargo area. Maybe because it's an XL (LWB)?

I bet the Tahoe ceiling stamping lacks this provision, whereas the Suburban ceiling stamping includes it.

I've seen short wheel base 2015-2016 with cargo lights, then they deleted the option for later.
