ground wire from the dome light goes back to the light switch white ground for dome light
if you add door switches hook them to the white ground for dome light
there is no fuse in the circuit only the bimetal spring for overload protection that protects the brake and tail lights

if you need to run new wires to the dome light use plastic strapping like what is used to strap packages for a fish tape
run it up the drivers side windshield pillar and pull 2 wires down
