I have fitted a second removable light that goes onto the suitcase. I fitted Superseal connectors to the lead to the “Cobra’s Head” light so I can disconnect it and plug in the other light. The light was an LED one from Carbuildersolutions. I mounted it on a short length of thin hardwood as a base and teak oiled it. I simply strap this on using cheap ratchet straps. It did involve getting access to the existing light connector that is behind the plastic panel beneath the spare wheel. A bit of a fiddle moving that panel but just took care. I extended the wires so the new waterproof connector was accessible. I just tuck the excess wire down out of the way behind the spare wheel. I used it first last month on a trip to Woburn using a suitcase. Simple to swop light connections, only takes seconds.
I’ve just got leather luggage straps so will modify the light to use them instead of ratchet straps.
I’ll get a couple of photos to post.
Just to add that the car is a 2023 Plus Four. Some CX cars have high level lights built into the hood instead. Mine doesn’t.
I used to use a Bootbag not suitcase and that was low enough to not obscure the Cobra’s Head light.
