    When you say Intercept Harness you mean depinning 22 and 23 in the overhead console? Or is Dave & Co making an Intercept Harness? :)

    If L7 & additional harness to costly, then this:
    upload_2021-12-26_14-17-1.jpg
    Added LED's are slave to Overhead Illumination switch position.
    upload_2021-12-26_14-51-35.jpg
    Very simplified:
    Overhead connector R44 intercept harness to added LED strips.

    Another iteration:
    Slave to Overhead switch position, one wire to LED location. Add-a-fuse (HOT) to added LED's.

    I'm pretty sure to add additional lights that work with the cargo off/on/door and for the trucks that don't come with a cargo light
