Anyone have any idea on how to add lights for the cargo area? I don’t know how or why but it appears there is no lighting back there as I recently discovered on a dark and moonless night at the campsite. The only overhead lights are the front console map lights and 2nd row. What the heck Toyota?
Toyita forgot a light for rear Cargo Area??

Looks as if Toyota fixed you up for the 2025 model year.

There are some aftermarket options on ebay
It has these lights already on either side. They work well enough. LC trim premium.

Curious why you feel that way? They seem to only cover about 1/4 of the cargo area and are also mounted low, when you have items stacked above them, they are concealed.
Maybe OK to illuminate three or four grocery bags but not really enough to illuminate the whole cargo area like a simple overhead light that every other Toyota SUV seems to have to the best of my knowledge.

Well, it would seem at least they acknowledged they missed this. Do you have a photo of where they are? Do they shine back inside?

Could one plug a motion sensing night light into the inverter plug?
You surely could, but would have to turn on the inverter switch to get power to it.
I've installed a USB-C rechargeable "under-counter" light from amazon. It attaches magnetically to a couple of adhesive metal pieces and can be adjusted to 3 brightness settings and even motion activated if desired. OK temporary solution until the OEM lights are available for retro-fit.
I saw these for a Jeep (same concept) on Amazon
I can vouch that these work amazingly well for a Jeep, not sure how they would attach or wire into a LC?
Have you guys seen EOD Guys build page? He installed a switch for the hatch courtesy lights. I believe it’s on a FE. I’m not sure if the courtesy lights are on the other trims. I’m still waiting on my non prem LC so I really don’t know.

Okay according to this thread from Sticker Fab, FE and Premium trims come with the hatch courtesy lights.

Added to my watch list. The cargo lighting is one of my biggest immediate pet peeves. I’d prefer them IN the cargo area but would consider on the liftgate. I also want to add a 12v and USB port connections back there.Have you guys seen EOD Guys build page? He installed a switch for the hatch courtesy lights. I believe it’s on a FE.

Does anyone have the part number of the lifgate with the lights?
It should be pretty straightforward to replace it. Just a matter to find out how much it costs.
