Bump on this. What lights did you all use in addition to the stock cargo lights?

These were some Rough Country rock lights my buddy had in his junk drawer.@Minty JL Do you recall which light strips you used?
All valid point you have mentioned.I think it was mentioned, but just wanted to caution everyone against adding too large of an amp load to the factory wiring circuit, for a couple reasons:
1: The JL/JTs computers monitor the loads on many of the vehicles circuits, and can cut power if it senses something too out of spec for the circuit.
2: Safety. Increasing the amp draw on a circuit increase the amount of heat generation on the wires/connectors, and I don't think anyone really knows what amount is safe.
Adding a small cargo light with a few LED elements is probably such a small amp draw it wouldn't make any difference, but adding something like light strips could be dangerous. If you want full light strips, run a new power wire from one of the aux buttons or battery (with fuses for safety).
