A friend of mine had a little lighting issue in her R1S frunk and I don't know, but the front trunk lighting only works well when it's empty. Once you put stuff in there, it's hard to see at night since the items are essentially blocking the lights.
To remedy, she had to install two of these. They're USB rechargeable, magnetic, offer warm or white lighting while being motion and photosensitive. This means they're off unless she open the hood at night.
Since they're held by magnets, it could conceivably be removed for use at campsites, tailgate events, etc. Build quality is pretty good. I was expecting something cheaper like a typical Chinese manufacturing, but these are well-made. They feel solid.
One note: the frunk liner seems to be made of UMHW or similar (it's slick) so we'll see how long the sticker magnets hold.
I know someone else who also did something similar and I might look to get these installed in my R1S frunk as well. I hope this helps someone out there who might have had this kind of issue.
