I'd like to get some more light around the rear hatch when it's open. Was hoping maybe someone here has done a DIY project maybe? In my mind I'd want inset/flush mounted long lights, two of them, that I can pivot a bit and shine light on the ground and really just light up the area when the hatch is open. Anyone done anything like this?

Search for led light strip in hatch. A guy just did a nice write up in the last couple of weeks. Looked very clean with lots of light.

mine doesn't move, but sure is bright.
A while back I bought those flexable LED lights in autozone on sale for $9.xx
