    i think in the cargo area, on the left panel, you will have access to a wire harness. in that harness there will be wires that are connected to the dome. since you have the c3, the wires are used for the cargo area light. you can always tap into that. or if you cant or dont want that, then you can simply tap into the front dome light and run wire from the headliner to the side and then to the footwell

    To my understanding, the cargo connector on the back isn't 100% functioning as dome lights which can be manually turned on or just shutting off. In fact, it just turns on when hatch door opens or off when door closes.
