Interior lighting problem when loading 3rd row passengers

[Kirk]

On my 20 EX, when opening the side doors, the front map lights and center dome lights come on as expected. Those lights illuminate the front seats and the seat bottoms of the second row. When opening the rear hatch, the rear dome light comes on and illuminates the 3rd row and cargo area. The problem is when loading passengers into the 3rd row with the hatch closed, because without the rear dome light, the 3rd row remains dark. Is there any way to have all interior lights come on when opening the side doors so that the 3rd row receives lighting too?

You could upgrade to an SX… they have dedicated third row dome lighting.

Otherwise, you could try this hack that someone did on their Palisade (all Palisade have a similar lack of third row lighting, just like LX, S, and EX Tellurides). Worth investigating if it matters to you.

Can also try and see if USB led lights work for your needs. Other have used it as ambient interior lights.
