Easiest/cheapest way is to replace interior incadesent bulbs with LED type - check ebay - cheap there. I don't know if i'd call it daylight but i would say especially in the rear area there are several times more light than stock bulbs and its a more natural slight bluish rather than yellow color. Luck!

Really depends on what you mean. You can replace the rear cargo light bulb with a brighter LED bulb and that will help. You can also add lights to your hatch that you can turn on when the hatch is open for more light.
I installed some Eagle Eye 3w LED lights to my rear hatch, and they're very bright. Here's the link for that. You can also use Super Bright LED to get new bulbs in your existing cargo light. If you're interested in the Eagle Eyes and want to know more. PM me and I can give you the details.
Check this out bud, considering this myself! ...best of luck..

Which panel did you purchase? I noticed there's a few different options.

I ordered 2 x Panel 1 to replace both dome lights. I received them yesterday and have yet to put them in.
Let me know how they are. Looking for a cheap and easy solution.

I put 2 12" LED strips on each side of the cargo area above the rear windows and wired them to the original wiring. There's no bulb in the original cargo light fixture now but the 2 strips provide more than enough light. I picked them up for like $4 on eBay.

I used the 2 large square LED in my Map lights in the front and they are stupid bright the only problem I ran into was modifying the area to make them fit correctly which required me cutting a small amount of plastic out and bending some metal back to make room for 2 LED squares. I have led in my domes but I use some cheap bulbs from Amazon that were blue in color they were ok but the VLED seems like they are pretty well made

Why are these vleds so expensive? You can get the same stuff on ebay for 2-3 bucks all day long!

I replaced the drivers side map light with a 12 red led square (helps keep night vision at night) and the passenger side map, dome, and cargo with 12 led white squares (BRIGHT!). Pretty sure it was less than $40 for it all off ebay. Still working great 2 years later. Liked them enough to start replacing back lights on the HVAC with white LED's.
