Going with the assumption that the lights work with a controlled ground (so they will fade out with the domes), if you tapp into the factory circuit (If the resistance through the LEDs is not great enough, and I don't know if it is without having them in front of me) with the ground circuit tied into the switch, it will give the stock lighting a constant ground when the rocker switch is in the off position. , you may end up with dome lights that wont turn off :SHOCKED: as they usually have a constant positive to them. Anyway, there is no need for the ground on that terminal at all. Switches don't need grounds to operate unless it is a lighted switch.
