@sberko1243 and anyone - I'm looking for a VERY SIMPLE way of making the rear cargo area brighter. When the rear hatch is opened at night, it's very dark in the cargo area. What do you suggest that's simple but bright? Please advise. Many thanks.

remove the hatch handlecover by prying tool and unscrew hidden screws, than remove the coverplate.
Dril holes in specified areas and fit LED downlights, extend the wiring and route trough the rubber hatch grommet by using a piece of sturdy wire. Run wiring all the way down to the kia interior light (left sided) and parallel connect wires. Easy peasy job! (For a Dutch guy)
