The interior lighting on the JL seems pretty weak at best. Any mods for lighting up the interior to see etc.

I've seen a lot of people adding this light to the rear window. It really helps out.

That's pretty cool. Do you have the details? I imagine for that it would be easy to use something that plugs into the 12v in the rear.

I think it has a remote. However, as brought up elsewhere , it seems like the light would behind you casting a shadow. Does it cast a shadow?

Was this easy to do? Does the light come on when the rear door opens then? Or is it controlled by some sort of switch?
It comes with a switch, a cigarette lighter plug for the rear, as well as the wiring and instructions to add it to the interior lights. I added mine to the interior, and it doesn't cast too much of a shadow, since it sits mostly above me.

Inside Jeep's interior lighting design meeting:

Andrew: "Where do you think drivers will need interior light most at night?"
Mike: "On a daily basis, probably up front."
Andrew: "Cool. Let's put a light everywhere BUT there."
Mike: "Are you sure?"
Andrew: "Yeah, you know, just to be dicks."
Mike: "Then while we're at it, want me to make the dash lights so they're either too dim or way too bright?"
Andrew: "Perfect."

Ya it’s pretty pathetic. They could have put lights on top by review mirrors

Yeh, Just got my Rubi. Why the heck aren't there lights right above the mirror? There's plenty of space for a couple push button LED lights there? Do we have to buy some stupid stick on LEDs with a battery?

Agreed.. i am hoping eventually someone comes out with a retrofit fit for the existing lights in the sound bar. Something with a bit more lumens would be nice.

I saw the photo of the Jeep interior, and said to myself, Ha! That looks like Cody's Jeep. Then I saw the name and location. Hi Cody.

I believe that is the one I got. It came with the 12v pug, however I wired mine into the doors.
I looked at those but it looks like it will,not go across all the way because of my rear widow wiper blade motor. mine has the motor box sitting there and looks its not enough room. some other guy said the same thing. on his 18 JL the little black box they the motor is in stopped the light from coming across all the way. did yours not hit it ? if not please post pic because i really want to get this but dont want it to hit the black box that that motor is in. and does it help light up above the 2 front seats at all also ?
