Default Rear interior lighting - 09 Fiesta

Hey all, new to the site but not new to Ford. Justed picked up a 09 Fiesta Zetec on Friday and enjoying it. Only thing that is annoying to me is the interior lighting.

Front is great with the dome, map and footwell lights. But what about the back? It is very dark and none of the front lights make it to the back.

Anyone else notice this and thought of any ideas. Thinking of getting a 2nd dome light for the back or some small led lights to fix the problem. Any factory fixes for this that anyone knows of?

Mine is a 5 door and has two lights either side of the cabin just above the headrests in the rear.

Funny thing is I looked at another Zetec a few days back and it didn't have them ?

Could be like the GTI's - they came in various formats despite being the same year.

yeah there is a light in the boot of mine but none in the back passenger. For now we bought a lamp for our daughter to use if she wants to see what she is doing.

I went to take a picture of my wifes and saw that it doesn't have any lights in the back :0 no issue for us since we have no passengers and I have a good torch ?. I think there might be a light in the hatchback area somewhere. But I'm sure I saw some in one of them? maybe the one we test drove
