The only lights that come on, when the door is opened, are the two on the doors. I do have the convertible and well I was just wondering if anyone did a conversion to have one of the two lights at the top, turn on when a door is opened? As you can see both of mine are manual.

Sorry, I'll try again lol. Basically, you splice your new wire into the wire for the lights in the door and run it to your lights overhead. Once you get to those lights, you know they only turn on with that switch. You know how a switch works, by completing the circuit and allowing electricity to pass through. My thinking is, if you splice your new wire into the wire for those lights BEFORE that switch, you've done nothing because that switch won't let your current pass through. But if you splice your new wire into your lights at some point AFTER that switch, it should work just fine. Sorry for yet another bad explanation. I'm kind of hoping somebody else can catch the gist of what I'm trying to say and do better.
