Australian cargo light kit

[eggsalad]

If you haven't heard of this, Mazda of Australia offers a cargo light kit that mounts in the side walls of the cargo area, supplementing the pathetic light in the tailgate.

See it here: TC11ACCLT - Cargo illumination - Mazda Accessories

First of all, has anyone used it? It looks like a brilliant (pun intended) idea. But I haven't been able to find any installation instructions online to determine if the kit comes with a wiring kit, of if there is factory wiring behind the panels to support these lights, or if the wiring on the Australian cars is unique.

Any insights greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So strange how accessories are country specific. I mean, why not offer this in the USA and other countries? The more they sell, the better, right? Looks like what they should have done from the get go.

I replaced the bulb in the tailgate with a bright LED bulb. Huge difference and no need for additional lights.

I did the same and while it helps, having lights in the locations in the link above would be nice.

For my CX5, I bought a kit that puts a light in where the latch cover sits.

Pish tosh, poppycock. If they're offering a kit at that price it ought to provide some real illumination.

Also saw Sound Off has a few designs with low half amp draw.
