On my 1950 3600 the original interior light has a power feed wire and an light mounted switch.

As part of my new wiring harness there are two wires for the interior light, one power and one ground where the ground is intended to be switched by a door switch or the light switch (also came with the harness).

I am curious if others have already determined what is required to modify the dome light to add a door switch feature?

I think the door switch and the wiring would be fairly straight forward but I think the base of the light socket is not isolated from the base-mounting bracket portion of the dome light with the light mounted switch turning on/off the power to the lamp. So in order for the door switch ground to work the socket will need to be isolated from the base.

I may not pursue this but if I am ever going to make this modification this would seem to be the time.
