As 80s don't have a rear cargo light I fitted a fluro to provide light for getting bourbons out of the Engel. I used a Narva 87340 fluro.

The install was pretty staightforward. In fact I fitted my light, bought my lunch and ate my lunch in my 40min lunchbreak at work. The wiring is tucked up under the headlining at the rear. I soldered and heatshrunk the connections then used stainless steel self drilling screws to attach the light to the roof. I screwed through the headlining about 35mm to right of the centre line of the vehicle.

Some links to cargo light install threads.
