That's exactly what mine are.

could you post pics of them installed please?There is a motion sensitive dome on them. I put a little tiny piece of black photo tape towards the front of it so me or a passenger can’t set them off. Put the clear dome towards the back.
I posted a video above. I don't think i have any pics. Also, I couldn't open the tailgate and film it by myself. But the lights come on when you open the tailgate.

Excited to see if you can get these to function with the other interior lights on that overhead switch
I have one more...

Another rad thing about these lights is, they pop right off. I can easily light up my whole engine bay without shadows, or a tent, ar any workspace, and then just put them back in. Velcro. An advantage over a built in hardwired dome lights.

how are they mounted?
About an inch of Velcro on each side. Don't use too much or they will be hard to remove. Haha. This is a photo of the back of a smaller one I use over the drivers area. The velcro just sticks to the carpet on the MIC roof. If you look at my video, you can see the one over the driver. That one I set to ON or OFF. And, it's so slim (flat) I just leave it on when I remove my roof panels. They store fine.

So in the back you stuck the soft side of the Velcro on the pillar?

My only concern is airbag deployment. Obviously you only want them going off once, but that's one of those really important times to have properly deploying airbags which aren't propelling objects around the cabin at a few hundred MPH.I'm still sorting out the relay issue to overcome the PWM dome power, but hope to have that resolved in the next couple days (waiting on parts to arrive).
I used these: LED lights
I tucked them up just below the rollbar airbag covers on the B&C pillars.
They fit beautifully in the little recess' on the cross bar cover for additional cargo area coverage.
The difference is remarkable!
I didn't take any progress shots, but I'll update with a couple tips when I get the relay issue sorted.
If you've ever been unfortunate enough to see what happens inside a cabin upon impact when things are launched around inside by airbags, it's not pretty. That's how a neighbor lost half of her dog. Half was strewn across her chest and face, the other half was a few cars back having made it out the sunroof (don't allow dogs on your lap while driving, BTW)

Exactly.
Darn, I used to think I was pretty handy with car mods
Now I realize I'm not smart enough to wire in a dome light.

Yup, gotta admit defeat on this one. Damn light is controlled via canbus. WTF Ford??
Next move is to rig up a light sensor and go that route.

The lights are bolted to the pillar covers and won't be in the way of anything if/when the bags deploy. I'm very aware of the forces involved when a bag deploys.
