It would be pretty easy to do, just tap into your reverse light wires, run 'em inside & up to the 3rdBL & connect the wires to the cargo lights (just don't connect the cargo light wiring as well, your dome light may come on every time you backup)

While the cargo lights probably wouldn't offer much additional light for backing up, it would certainly be cool.

You could also tap into your tun signals & run them up to the 3rdBL to add turn signal functions to the cargo sections (really only useful on all red ones) as I did with my current setup.

... but both of those options are somewhat off the topic of adding cargo lights to a non-cargo light equipped truck.

BTW, nice write-up Hazardous
thanks lol
