Interior lights

Hi I was wondering what everyone was doing for an interior light in their trucks?

I use a small flashlight.

I have a domelight from a piece of armor but frankly never use it. I keep a few magnetic lights up there. There is a light under the dash in the middle. Usually they don't have a bulb.

In my M1009, I put 3 rows of LED lights on the ceiling. Wired them to come on with the light under the dash. Illuminates the entire interior of the vehicle.
In the M1008 I have a single LED light fixture that has a switch on it.

I use this light out of the bar mount. It's magnetic, sticks well and has bright enough LEDs. Gotta change the batteries is the only downside. But for me it beat permanent wiring. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WFZ6DB4/
To be honest the under dash light works well enough for most things while driving.

I noticed it there. How is it turned on? The headlight switch doesn’t have that option

Yes the headlamp switch does operate the lower under dash stock lamp. I just tap into that and run the wire thru the weather strip and into the roof in the rear of the M1009. I used LED lights on both sides and in the area above the center roof. It lights up like an operating room. I also use an LED license lamp under the dash. That under dash lamp is about worthless. Good Luck with what ever you choose.

Thanks. I am toying with the idea of flush mount led lights in the corners above the seatbelt mount and above the rear view mirror.

If you do the 24v LED, don't forget a dimmer. I have red, green and white but nothing mounted yet.

I grabbed a light out of a wrecked cop car, the switch is on the light itself and gives a choice of white or red LEDs, and it only cost a couple bucks.
