on the map light connector it has 3 pins but only one of them actually has a wire in it, its going to be on one of the sides depending on the orientation you are holding it in, take one end of the wire you just put in, strip it and bend the end in half. Shove it in the oposite side hole from the existing wire. secure the wire with tape.
use your method of choice to splice into the pink wire on the dome light on the other end, i just pushed the stranded wire into the connector and taped it into place.
partially reinstall the map lights and put in the screw that grounds the fixture and open a door and make sure that the lights turn on, if they work finish reinstalling everything and enjoy.

Thanks, man!!!
Took me awhile to complete it, but finally got it. The only gripe about this is you can't turn the map lights on/off when needed. Other than that, pretty happy with it.
Thanks again!!
