LED Light for cargo area on the lightless S model Rogue?
Can anyone suggest a good light to install on the Rogue S model which has no light available in the cargo area? What brand did you buy/where did you buy it and where did you place it in the cargo area? Any photos of yours? Thanks!

I assume no one has tried it yet, thus no reponses.
It depends on how you wish to power it. If it's one of the AA battery powered ones, I would install it on the door just like the OEM light.
If you plan to power it from the vehicle, then mount it on the ceiling close to the hatch. You can use a coat hanger inserted between the headliner and roof to pull a pair of wires from the existing dome light. Simply wire in parallel with the existing light bulb and you should be set. I did this method on a Ford Escort wagon once and it worked perfectly.

I bought a Sylvania Dot It light at Lowes. They have round ones and oblong ones with 3 LEDs in them. They come with Velcro. They aren't super bright but they do help when its real dark. Price about $10 if memory serves.
