Has anyone else found that there is not much light in the back of the jimnys.
have noticed a spot to put a light in the back and was wondering if anyone has found an interior light to fit??

I have a rear interror light. Check out my build thread.

if that panel was designed for a "deluxe version" so they could have some more lights (but it never happened)... it should be a cable laying around there for it.... same way there is a speaker cable ready for some rear speakers that never happened

There's no wiring behind there

i thought that there would be some sort of light off another car that might fit but. it doesn't seem so

Just checked my brothers EF fairmont. His rear door interior lights are 45x75, so it looks like it would be a good fit for that side panel but I reckon it will be a lot of effort for not much gain. Your best to do what jimny91 did and other people have done for rear interior light. Here's a picture anyway if you want to do it, they came out in the fairmonts side doors and ford wagons as a boot light.

i put some cheap 3W Downlights in my jimny fitted nicely in the holes in the roof on the sides,

and was simple enough to run 2 cables around it.




creates heaps of light for the back

I have tryed the SX4 trunk lights, but they do not fit. I've found one that fits from an old Fiat car. It has a button, so i didn't integrate them with the door light. I've replaced the bulbs with a mini LED bar and it's f&%$# bright. Look at the last pic (just one side on). Also, it is not necessary to drill. Just use 3M double-face tape.

Just took these 5 minutes ago.

1. Replaced main bulb with LED
2. Installed Narva map light w/switch in centre of roof
3. Installed 'LED' brand LED strip light along back lip. With switch on RHS panel. Not that its a big issue, but I should have installed it on the left side!



The camera does not do it justice. Very useful amount of light...

Installation method for lights...
I put a square of Masonite above the map light to give the screw something to bite and I used rivets and washers to secure the rear light. I measured and drilled the cable hole accurately for both.
