Dome and cargo lights

[jobberone]

My dome and cargo lights aren't working. Was checking the door switch and when pulled there is no wire to it. I took the panel off and found out you can't get to the switch area from inside the truck. One look at the inside fender wells and I decided to get help.

Can I drill a hole into the fender area from the panel that holds the hood latch and manage to wire it from there? Not sure how to get the wire to the switch that way.

Is there an aftermarket product that dispenses with that door switch? I suppose I could mount a LED light you turn on manually but that defeats the purpose of the lights coming on when I open the door.

If all else fails then I suppose I'll have to pull my wheel and the fender wells and do it correctly. Hopefully there is wiring there although I suspect I'll still have to run new wiring.

Thanks.
