Thanks Rusty. Been looking at the tailgate lights constantly, looking for potentially suitable LED units, taking off some trim and having a gander at the space available etc.

At first I was looking at buying a pair/quad of 18W light bars, potentially upping it to two single 36W bars, but never quite finding flush fit with suitable heatsinking for the space available.

Last night, I found these

The other night I was backing up in the park after taking the dog out and realised I couldn't see jack.

Decided that the parking sensors are coming out when the camera goes in, therefore hooking these up to the reverse light signal. They will also be able to be switched on by an internal switch + door open.

Lastly, I can place some in the trim of the tailgate itself quite nicely for down lighting around the emergency kit space, as well as in the underside for projected light. Lastly some will be red, with AUX power supply for when I'm up the hills with the telescope at night, got to keep that red light vision. So looks like I have a plan at last!
