Maybe do the pressure switch on the ground of inside light. So if you turn the switch on, you're not gonna run the inside light unless the box is open.

That looks great, and I'm impressed with the 5050 SMTs. You're almost pushing 800lm!

Change that switch you have to a DPDT switch and wire in the pressure switch to one of the contacts. I have this same plan for when I get a hardtop tonneau.

Up= On
Middle= Off
Down= On with pressure switch/door/keyless entry/etc

Neat idea! Might have to do something similar with my son's box on his Ranger.
