Hum - good question -
I would like the same -
Have seen several shapes & size (round, square, long-thin etc)
For me the actual light and the fitting of it is not the big issue.
For me the wiring & switching is the bigger worry.
So much talk about 'can bus' etc.
I come from the older days of just 'scotchlocking' in to the existing wire's with an inline fuse holder.
That doesn't seem to be the case now !!
Where I get confused is that the L663 runs 'can bus' - OK - but when I read up on 'lighting' the actual headlights use a 12 volt feed still?
All seem a bit mixed up to me.

Look forward to seeing if & how people have solved this - - -

There are a couple of companies that make and sell additional/ upgraded interior lighting for the inside of the boot/ tailgate and they add a spur onto the wiring looming using the existing connector - have a look at PowerfulUK’s website and the fitting video or maybe even contact Simon as that is the sort of challenge I’m sure he would take up.

Yes - powerfuluk do seem to have sveral options.
I need to look a little harder for the switched work light solution.
For me I want a rear extenral light fitting, yes picking up a power feed from somewhere in the back.
However I would like a switch somewhere in (inside) the back.

Yes - might well give Simon a call - - - -

Would be easy enough to run a feed from the battery under the seat I’d have thought, and mount a switch somewhere inside the rear door. The plate on the left where the suspension raise/lower buttons are would be a good spot - on mine there are some switch blanks there as it hasn’t got the deployable towbar.

If the work lamp is just for the rear boot area, look at one of these. Again from powerful, but simple plug-n-play. I fitted one in my boot in 15mins.
