Ford vs. Chevy

Okay, I'll admit, I looooove my Super Duty over my last Chevy pickup. However,
one thing I miss more than anything else is the ability to turn on my cargo light
without having to turn on every light in the entire cab.

Is there a fix to be able to turn on just the cargo light? It helps when attempting
to hook up a fifth wheel in the dark, and when the interior lights are shining in
your face as you are reversing, it kinda defeats the purpose.

Just wondering.

The cargo lights are wired into the dome light, so the only way to change it would be to run a separate wire from the cargo light all the way to the dash and add a switch.

This is what I am planning to do soon! I hate not having it separate!
