Did you use a meter to check the voltage of your dome light switch wire to make sure it goes to 12V when the door is open, and ground when it's closed? If it's reversed it won't work properly, so you have to make sure before hooking it up.

Yup.  I even have an old door trigger that I opened up to see whats going on.  When the trigger is in ( door closed ) the ground gets disonnected. When the trigger is out ( door open ) the ground is touching causng the circuit to complete.

Am I wrong in my thinking?

Ok, I also just did this  Took it all apart, and ran just the column light postive to the door trigger positive and grounded out the column negative.  Both the dome lght and column light came on but at half power.  Soon as I let go of the column light positive, the dome light resumed its full brightness.

Maybe this will help.  So far I tried to hook the column light all by it self to the green on the driver door switch just before the integrated control unit and also the light green w/ red stripe on the passenger door switch.  Both times, both lights dim.

Oh yea, trying to give you all the info, so without a factory radio installed in the car, the keyless entry doesnt work ( only by alarm, not yet istalled ) so in order for me to get the dome lights to work, I had to jump the light green wire with red strip coming from the keyless box to the light  green wire with black strip coming from the keyless box ( just connecting the cicuit ).

When I ran the multimeter on that connection, power outage only read about 3 volts.  Yet power to the dome reads 12

Ok, took my car further apart.  2 wires running from dome.  White w/ red stripe ( wire 1 ) =12 volts constant.  Light green w/ red strip ( wire 2 above diagram comin from dme light ) = 3 volts

Ive tapped into so many wires coming from that diagram and stil cant find a solid light output.  Only oneis the white w/ red strip, but by doing so, its just a constant on.

Ok, Im super close but, something is wired wrong still.  Everything is working properly except the keyhole light.  And by this I mean, when the door opens, the light comes on, if door remains open, the timer will shut the light off.  If I close my door before the timer duration is up the light will go off.

Im thiking it has to do with the black strip maybe???

Your door switch is grounded when the door is open, and goes high when the door is closed; that's how most cars are, but it's reversed from what you described. I'll see if I can take your picture and make updates to it so you can try it out- stay tuned..
