When I'm loading tools and whatnot in and out of the back end of my JK, the dome lights go off and I'm tired of having to open and close the doors to reset. So I installed a Rigid Billet Dome Light, which I bought before they came out with the new A series lights. It's not as bright as my replacement LEDs that I put in the oem dome, but it gets the job done. Below are pics of where I put the switch. There's a nice void on the left rear for it. The black momentary switch is to change the flash pattern of my rear strobes. By the way, this is an OTRATTW switch and I wired the wording to light up every time I open the doors (tapped the rear dome for that - with only 20 milliamperes of draw on the switch, I did not worry about the canbus going haywire. And I tapped the center wire of the rear dome light). The switch is wired to my constant fuse box (I know, I could run the battery down if left on. Fingers are crossed!). And the switch to the left is my 12v momentary switch for my rear flashers - changes the flash pattern (which is another thread I started - anyone want to tell me how to link a thread via my iPad?)
