Interior light question

My 15 Tacoma is the first vehicle I have ever owned where the maps lights on the ceiling above the center console do not come on when you open the door but the dome light does. My wife's 08 Highlanders map and dome lights come on when you open the door. Am I crazy or does this just sound like a miss by Toyota? It just seems really dim for interior lights.

 

They don't come on when you open the door. It is what it is.

 

Whoa you can mod it bro? Please give me that link.

 

Add a resistor to the wire of the map lights and they will turn on with the dome light. There is a write up on how to do this on TW, takes less than 5 minutes. One of the first mods I did to my truck .

 

Change out the Dome light and Door lights for LEDS...will be way brighter.

Thanks man appreciate it

 

Sweet, appreciate the link to the mod. It will be done by this weekend. Happy new year all!

 

Welcome. There is a few different ways to tackle this but this is the only link I found with pic's.

 

As stated above, change dome lights to LEDs, way brighter and is simple plug and play.

 

Mod completed and works great.
