Did a search but didn't find anything.

Has anyone added extra lights to light up the back seats? load area is nice & bright but the Jeep is dark in the middle. Looking for something that looks stock.

Some have used one of the stock overhead lights and just installed about half way back, run wires to the front and splice in, works well. LEDs work great as well I had some mounted on the lower edge on the back of the front seats to light up the floor area better

I have been looking at the inverted cone LED, orange color. They use it in the new vehicles, provides an impressive spot light, that isn't super bright, but allows for someone to read and doesn't affect the driver at all.

Here's some pics for reference..... notice the hump in the headliner.... (I just wanted to say hump.. :mrgreen: )There is a metal support underneath it.... The further back you go towards the rear of the KJ.... The less room there is to put the bracket that holds the lights.... I still had to cut down the mount so it would sit flush.... there is only about an inch of room in the VERY MIDDLE of the second row.... and would be very hard to mount something STOCK looking...

I have actually been thinking of fabbing up an overhead console for radios.. Gps and other stuff... Then I could add red lights (nighttime) and leds for seeing stuff... But my only problem is!!! I dont know what is under the padding to screw onto

i pillaged an interior rear seat light from a durango (same thing in grand cherokees, PT cruisers, mini vans etc.
it is the same color, and i am working on putting that over the rear seat in my 02, then running wires back to the cargo light to tie in.

Got any of the front roof. (naked)

Looks like that bracket just behind the drivers seat would be a viable option.. With a custom overhead console I would also have room to put in white and red lights.... (like submarines bahaha)

I have been wanting a light over the rear seats as well. Would the rearmost cargo light work over the rear seats like posted? I've already added led's do all my interior lights. I've been thinking about using some led strips under the back of the front seats as a rear footwell light

Yes it will

With enough fabbing, time & $, it's certainly possible.
That being said, it's like boinkin' your sister...just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
