Cheap way: Battery-powered tap light and some 3M double-sided tape.

Expensive/time consuming way: Wire the tolobox up to an always-hot curcuit with lights and a momentary switch that shuts the lights off when pressed, and put the switch in a place it'll be pressed by the lid.

nothing cheap and easier than this:



but off course, if you want to do it the right way, usually bring a wire from the battery and get some led light fixture like this:
