    I know this thread is old. But I am wanting to do this in my 99 ext cab. I have the dome light, so I know I need the mirror and map lights and to run 1 or 2 wires to the dome light.

    So I just need to figure out which is constant hot for 1 wire and then which is only hot when the door is open? Which leg on the map lights are which? I’m okay with having to cut the headliner, none of that bothers me. Just want to have it all “figured out” before I start

    I’m also going to try and install the dash clock if I can find one

    As said before sorry to unbury this...I’ve got a map light but have a single cab. I’ve been unable to get the light to even turn on after hooking the connector up to the actual light. It’s a single cab and came with the small single light. Someone help lol

    I guess my next question is how to get them to turn on when the door switch is engaged. Then unit I’ve got only has one pin and no dome light to tie into. So I’ve got the ability to turn the lights on with each independent switch but not when the doors open. Any ideas?

    Mine was plug and play and the lights turn on with the door. Maybe depending on the map light too.
    Not sure if that was an option or not.

    But my map light has a switch that says DOOR so you can have it working or not working with the door.

    I also replaced the oem lights with LED lights

    Yeah there are 2 different types. You can rewire the 2 button type to use 1 switch for the doors and 1 to turn the lights on and off.

    Do you know which wire I would need to splice and where exactly I would need to run it by chance.

    I just did this yesterday actually, I used a test light to determine which wires were which. Screw one of the the screws into the hole where it is going to be bolted up and that is your ground then just use the test light to determine power for each wire. I had to run two wires from the dome light through the head liner to make it work correctly with the doors open and so fourth. I upgrade to the three switch map light, not sure which one you have.

    He has the two switches, not 3, for me the 3 switch was plug and play.

    It might be easier to just buy the 3 way setup if you want the doors to be part of the loop to work.

    You can find plenty of them here,
