Nicely done. Do it. Don't even think about it; it needed those lights. Good job!

LED lights changed the lighting industry forever. For the good of course. We had the old work lights on the back of our trucks and you couldn't hardly see anything with them, they were better than nothing but the LEDs came out and wow what a difference they made. I'm telling you I could see better going backwards than forwards! No body realizes how much more light you get from LEDs until they see it.

Great video! I have a 2022 Skandic with that ridiculously expensive box. My sled did not come with it I hated shelling out the money for it but it is an awesome box. I'm not brave enough to try what you have done but it certainly is a practical improvement. Good luck with your new sled she's a beauty! I wish I had a shop like yours.

Not sure!? Maybe it will heat up my box and keep my auger batteries warm lol. Cant imagine it will be much of an issue especially if it’s cold out

Sweet, maybe add another light on each side outside and one more inside.

Hi just did the Box mod you described. Thanks awesome idea! only issue Im encountering is power. If I use the extension cable you described with the inline fuse the on off switch gets power but the lights don't light up. If i go direct to battery with the fuse it all powers up. with regards to wiring did you get rid of the fuse altogether? I wasn't 100% sure on the wiring from video. You didn't use the 40 amp relay Im assuming for this and just cut up the wiring harness for what you needed? seems like the issue is the fuse! the largest I have is a 30 amp not sure if a 40 amp would work? Any help would be great. Thanks

I can’t remember 100% but I know the polarity was reversed on that light or something! Try switching red/black around. Couldn’t get mine to work until i figured that out

Is the light inside the cargo box on all the time. If it is I’d try to wire it so the light is activated when the lid is opened.

@@brettgonzales9295 the Ski-Doo, ROC cover is excellent, just doesn't cover the box. Does a good job keeping the salt and road dirt off it. Not sure if you know but, cool feature, the cover is velcrowed over the windshield so it opens, you can drive it up or down your ramps while leaving the cover on. Just makes it easier. Put the cover on before you load it, velcro, ride on/off velcro, repeat.
