brad i think somewhere on here i saw a thing on it but im deff intrested to see what happens i wanna do it myself

i found this
map lights are wired into the same power source as the dome light, there is a loom that runs up your driver's side A pillar that powers your sunroof/map/dome lights etc. Map lights use a on/off switch where the dome light receives it's on/off input from the door pressure switches. Best thing to do would be using your volt meter, test each lead into your dome light to find which one gets a positive voltage when you open your door. Once you found your source wire, splice into this wire using solder and heatshrink since nobody wants a headliner catching on fire. Once you have your source wire splice run it to the map lights under the headliner and solder it to the positive terminals on the lights themselves, not before the switch. This way the map lights will come on and off when u open and close the door, but you will still retain use of the on/off buttons for when you need them. Hope this helps!

*edit* Thanks for the idea now I know what I'm going to do on a rainy day.

an i want ur body kit lol
