Those With Partitions...
I love my partition, but ever since I put it in, I get tired of the interior being so dark at night. As any of you who have one know, it covers up the light coming from the rear cargo area. I have been kicking around the idea of putting interior lights in the outside edges of it and tying them into the cargo area interior lights. I figured I'd use some sort of quick connect with them and hide the wires under the interior trim. That way they'd be easy to disconnect if I ever want to remove the partition.
My problem has been finding a light that will look nice. Has anyone else out there done this (or thought about it.) If so, where did you find the light? I've checked at the local auto parts stores, and don't see anything that will work. Any ideas?
I was thinking about putting the lights in the upper corners of the partition:

I dont see why you would want light in the cabin, i personally would like it as dark as possible, it makes it impossible for people to look in the car if you have limo tint and very little light inside.

Great minds think alike. Over at Menards (our local home improvement store) they sell a 9 LED light that they call a "Puck Light" for under the kitchen counter use. It's pre-wired and takes 12 volts from a transformer they sell. I picked one up and was going to wire it with a plug and put it in front of the partition. I'm sure what ever home store is in your area would have something similar. I just liked that it was 12V ready. I can post more info later.

I would also do it. Maybe tie in to the rear corner lights.

Great photo of the partition. Did you install for noise reduction , and if so, how well does it work? Which vendor did you get it from?

We have pondered the idea!
Years ago we thought there may be a need to offer an OEM light that looks factory.
Back in 2002 we researched many kinds from - Mazda,Porsche even Gm.
I will look back at my notes and see what I can find.
By the way ,That is one of our partitions.

I turn off all the dash lights and just use the HUD... less distractions...
