Sand First Edition (2.8L diesel - UK spec)
Love my UK spec LCFE but not the lack of lights at the rear - the UK spec has no lights in the tailgate and two pretty useless spots in the side

Has anyone found a decent solution - UK spec has a 3 pin socket as well as the USB-C sockets

I really fancy a decent light I can switch on and off but leave plunged in and which can illuminate across the back - perfect is scope to reduce the strength of the light

I bought these lights from Amazon and cut off the strap mounting points, fabricated a simple mount and mounted them under the grab handles in the cargo area. I wired them to the 12v battery as the lights have their own on/off switches. They work great!

Impressive - as a start I have bought a fairly small rechargeable light that can be attached to various places as itโ€™s magnetic - itโ€™s got different light intensities and shades - might need some steel tape in places but at least currently I fancy the option to alter its position when in use - if should be handy on top of my dogs travel crate (aerospace aluminium hence the need for the steel tape) or maybe off the open tailgate

It comes tomorrow so will have a play - not as factory a solution as some you guys have posted
