          i just installed the map light as i'm re-wrapping my headliner.
          Question for excalibur02, how did you go about attaching the wire from the maplight switches to turn on with the doors? i thought i had it figured out but no luck
          the way i have it is the pigtails of the maplight matched to the pigtail of the dome light and i assumed that the third prong would be for the door switch but i guess its not since it doesnt work

          the red wire is the one i have going to both switches

          im sorry that this pic is so large but photobucket wont resizes it for some reason

          could you please help

            You need to desolder the two wires on each switch and flip them with each other. Then add pigtails to each of the third pins on the switches, and tie them into each other. Then run them to the power off the doors.

            I have pictures showing in detail this process, but I'm not at home to upload them, I'll do it this afternoon.

                            legend 4 wire map light



                            so i read on another thread to cap the blue wire its like a constant power. then the black and silver wire is negative. the white blue stripe wire is positive. and everything works. then.. the legend already has on with doors open mode right? cuz it has a 3 way switch. so when i have swith in the middle and then touch the white black stripe wire to the negative the center lighs light up. so how do i connect that one to the door sensor or something to go on when any of my 4 doors open?

                            C-3PO's MRT USDM yo!

                            then i see my baby, suddenly I'm not crazy,
                            It all makes sense when i look into her eyes

                              Changed my mind. Im going to use the rear dome light from a legend instead of the front.

                              The wiring is a little different. Black negative, red positive, that way you can work the side map lights.

                              Then the other two don't seem to have a specific polarity. As long as they are connected in a way that completes the circuit the center dome turns on. So... What should I do with those two so that the center comes on with my doors open?

                                The outer spot lights red and black wires to 12v and ground. Polarity doesn't really matter, but Honda puts the ground through the switches.

                                The center light is the rear dome light, the wht/blu is 12v power.
                                Blu/wht goes to the front dome light after the switch, this is so it works with the regular dome switch This has to be soldered in on the accord like in this picture:



                                The front legend dome light wires as follow
                                wht/blu 12v
                                blk ground
                                wht/black door trigger
                                blu/wht output after switch to rear dome light
