I thought you had a fairly new Dakota- it doesn't already have a center high-mount brake light? I'd just run it off of that.

As for the dome light, I'd just stick a battery-powered LED light or two up there and call it a day. Lots of hacking and pulling wires, and then you have to remember to leave the door hanging open if you want to see in the back. Screwit.

If you run it off that, I'd assume you could run the dome light off of that too.

I don't know about the Dakota but I know my Ram has a white light (surrounding the center brake light) that lights the bed. It is activated by its own button. Use that as your dome light switch.

As for the "how-to" you are on your own.
