rambleon, How did you run the LED strips? Wire it into the existing light? And would you happen to have pictures?!

You can even then run a wire from there to the other side and have lights on both sides and tuck the wire out of view behind the plastic I interior panels.

This is exactly what I did. The wires are perfectly hidden out of sight and power from the hatch light are more than enough to power two sets of led strips. I'll see if i cant get a good picture of the lights working tomorrow.
I believe my strips have either 6 or 9 white leds (self adhesive too) and then I just used some 18 or 20 gauge speaker wire i had laying around. I ran it under the hard plastic trim of the lower inside hatch area. I like it because it has a clean factory look, ie cant see anything unless you are really looking.
