Wiring Bed Lights Using Cargo Lamp

I'm trying to install bed lights in my 5 1/2' bed. I was thinking I'd be able to wire the bed lights to the cargo lamps in the center rear brake light above the rear window, so that I can just push the dimmer switch all the way up to turn them on.
Anyone else already done this? Or have any tips to an easy install?

Yeah I was going to post, that was my thread above.

Those $2 lights are still going strong too!

Don't go into the headliner and get that cargo light wire(waste of time and not necessary at all), it's under the driver side door sill plate, and there is a grommet that goes under the truck right there as well.

The interior light circuit is where the cargo lights are also hooked into. When you slide the switch on the dash to all interior lights on the cargo goes on to, same as the bed lights thats how I have it.
