Can you do this?

Use the correct size box-end wrench to unscrew the dome light button on the body near the door hinges, and unplug the unit.



In my '95 I just ripped them out completely.

Maybe I misread his intention. I thought he wanted them to be selectable. On when he wanted them to come on with the door and off when he didn't. That is why I suggested a switch.
