If you need a quick plug and play option here you go. Cartrimhome Touch on/off and also dimmable cargo hatch light available now. Click here
I can endorse this product. It takes literally 5 minutes to install, totally plug and play, and comes with the only tool you need. Puts out a very nice floody light that makes the rear area a lot easier to see in the dark. Should have been standard equipment.
Just placed order, thanks!
Does it turn on/off automatically when you open and close the liftgate? Or does it run by a switch?
What model do you have? Does it work with the 58?
Thank you for this, it’s a big help. I have the optional factory-installed liftgate lights, and (amazingly) you cannot turn them off. If the hatch is open, then the lights are on, period. Please, a quick question about this light – if you have the hatch open and the light turned off, and I then close and reopen the liftgate, does it remember that I had the light turned off?
5 minute install? No way.
Was your tailgate pre-wired? Running the cable to the driver side rear light seems like it would take way longer.
I’m confused. You say it’s prewired – are you saying that you did not have to thread the provided cable from the start point up to the roof edge? That wiring was already there?
I’m still not sure your question was answered. I think by all accounts I’ve read the wiring must be snaked through to the jack area connection point on all trim levels. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
