Has anyone figured out how to enable the two rear cargo area lights to activate when any of the doors open. All of the interior lights come on except those and I would like the interior as bright as possible at night when I open any door. Thanks

Those lights won't be able to shine into the car interior because of the rear seats and the trunk shade blocking the way. Just replace all the interior light bulbs with high intensity LEDs, and it will be a lot brighter in there.

I have a 2006 and I replaced all the inside bulbs, the lights in the doors, and the mirror puddle lights with Led. Best thing I ever did.

Thanks for the replies. This is a 2017 so most of the interior lighting is LED except for foot well, door lights and rear area. I've already changed the cargo lights to LED replacement fixtures and it's really bright. I also changed the the door lamps and reverse lamps to LED. I'll be changing the foot well fixtures too. Good point about the rear seats being up and the privacy shade closed. In my case, I don't use the rear seats and put stuff in the rear all the time for my business so that whole area behind the front seats is cargo. I tried different coding today but couldn't get it to work. Oh well.

Where did you source your LED lights from? In particular, the reverse LED's. Cheers ;)
