Sounds like you're approaching the car from the wrong end, most of us gain ingress through the driver's door Console and floor lights are still on my list, but I either need to wait till lockdown is over and go get some parts, or take them out of the EB. I was going to take them from the EF, but then I realised I never installed any in that one  1st door i open in the morning is the back drivers .. . . ... chuckin me work bag, then grab drivers  hahahahaha on the EF think me next mod 'might' be fitting some small driving lights at the rear next to the tank

How good are you at SMD soldering?nup never done one........... yet! will have to chase it up. ground clearance at rear. lpg tank cover mounting bolts is where i was thinking of mounting 'light' bracket. should be [?] enough ground clearance for the lights under there

Would be easier if you have the right tools, but I only have through-hole soldering equipment.

If not then there's heaps of room, the wagons sit plenty high at the rear. |

I have more than that - temperature controlled soldering stations and such, but it's still a pain doing SMD... Wondering if I should attempt it with the clock though, I do have some spare SMD LEDs on the bench Mad2 wrote: for now it will have the smaller 65Ltr lpg tank & now and again towing a car trailer. has some used 1 tonner springs fitted. mine was originally a bit lower. don't speed up for the speed bumps around here . . . . . . don't slow down either & lights 'will hopefully' fit roughly above the bracket sorta where the tank is sitting [white piece]. not going to be doing any 'serious off roading' No problems then, should be heaps of room for some stealth lighting
