Is it ok that I ran my power and ground for my 7in screen in the headliner off of the domelight and the DVD Player 5.6 and Video booster off the same power running to the fuse panel to the domelight switch? If not any other suggestions?

Well its your choice IMO I wouldn't I would run their own power and fuse them. Now if you got a lot of money to burn go for it. I dont have the money to buy new equipment if your stuff shorts out and fries the equipment. Plus the wire running the dome is hooked to what else in your car? You are putting extra draw on a wire intended to do what it does. Rerun your powers and fuse them. the grounds need to be clean and to the body of the car.

Even though they don't draw much current, I'll run to the steering column to get power when I do video systems. Only use the domelight connections to power the domelight in the overhead.
