In theory yes. You'll need to run a feed off the interior light for the light part

HI Alex,

I looked into changing alarm sensor to light/alarm sensor. but, the wiring is weird...

In my old one I have 6 wires going into the sensor. but the one I picked up from scrappy with light has only 4 wires going in. Size wise it will fit. check the pictures for your reference.

New one from scrappy :

Any ideas? on wiring?
