The cargo light has 2 lights in it. One's the light itself and the other is the blue bronco in the middle.

I hooked it up to the one with the bronco. You’re saying I need to hook it up to the light on the roll bar? I checked the voltages there and it’s the same as the other. Appreciate the help.The cargo light has 2 lights in it. One's the light itself and the other is the blue bronco in the middle.
I stumbled across your post a few months ago and purchased these lights. My Bronco finally arrived this week. Just curious, did you try putting them on the metal part of the roll bar first since they are magnetized? It feels strong enough to hold to me, but if you already tested and it failed I will secure them more. This is where I have them at the moment.I'm rocking these. They are amazing. Photo and motion sensitive. Super slim. I put them right on the roll bar.

Hello Jim,THE RELAY BOARD DOESN'T WORK.
I made a mistake when testing it and it does not latch properly with the pulsed signal.
The photo sensor does work great and has been in use for months now.
Cargo light was $15 more if I screwed it up. lol@Just_Jim, thanks for your legwork on this. Going to try to leverage these photocell relays to power some additional cargo lighting. On that note - any reason you can think of that I couldn't take this approach with the cargo lamp assembly instead of the dome light?
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.
This is a great tip, thanks! I bought them, love them, but on a warm day the velcro adhesive on the plastic roll bar doesn't hold. I bought the Velcro brand, used alcohol a few times to clean the plastic and it still won't hold. What brand or steps did you use to get them to hold? Thanks for the helpThere 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.
