So searching through scooby mods i came across this thread:
http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=268&highlight=cargo+light
CN: Its a DIY to add a cargo light to the back of the TS wagon. The MY02 OBS have the cargo light, however the TS does not but does have the wiring back there for it.
This DIY im writing is mostly for the 12V accessory part but i did both at the same time.
anyways after reading that write up i decide I too wanted the rear cargo light so i did the research and found the parts needed:

NOTE: neither the bracket nor the light come with the screws to hold them together so i had to find some. Both part numbers are there but here they are again:
Cargo Light: 784671050
Bracket: 84927F1050
After gathering the parts i was driving home and notice an 02 OBS in a parking lot. I stopped to look in the trunk to see what the light really looked light and noticed it also have a 12V accessory outlet(cigarette lighter outlet). So i said if im doing this cargo light install and the wiring IS THERE, then i can aslo assume that the 12V accessory light is ALSO there.
Now i wanted both and went in search of the 12v outlet. I went to a junkyard and pulled this off an older outback:

notice the outlet itself is 3 pieces. Then there is that black panel piece. The panel piece holds the outlet in place and doesnt let it twist since the outlet is cylindrical. i couldnt find part numbers for any of the pieces and the number on the black panel i couldnt find. Either way thats what it looks like. I decided that i didnt really like it too much and bought this one from Digikey. I forgot the part number but ill edit this post and add it:

Notice it has a bezel which will make for easier mounting. The part was only $3 and the subaru outlet i believe is over $20
