Am I right in that the interior light with map lights has 3 wires, one positive with fuse, one negitive with door switch, and one constant ground?

Just a cut & paste from a post many moons ago:
{USERNAME} wrote: The mid series light is basically the base light with the two reading/map lights tacked on the front - there are two green/yellow wires supplying power for each (dome light/reading lights) - simply join them together and attach to the car's green/yellow wire. There is only one black/blue wire - join this to the car's black/blue wire, this controls the dome light and goes through the BEM to allow fading (mid and high series BEM's). The reading lights are controlled by their respective on/off switch, which earths power through the light assy frame.
Mounting either light assy is via 4 screws

Thanks snap0964, I did do a search, but didn't find s**t, usually it's because it's fussy about what key words you use!

That's okay - I remember doing that write up, so it wasn't hard to find . . .

Yup, I recently converted mine to LEDs so am familiar with the fact the map lights don't work inless it's screwed into the roof.

A Fairlane dome light with LED's is better still . . . .

Nothing to see, imagine bulbs replaced with LEDs. White light instead of crappy orange/red 'white' light.

did you put the LEDs in the actual dome light, or those two front map lights that you turn on and off with the switch? Because i want to do the same thing.

Both, dome light and reading/map lights.
Used a pair of frosted 8MM LEDs for the dome, and single 8mm LEDs for each maplight.

I've got a LED festoon but it's not bright enough. There is an LED shop that sells premade ones online, or otherwise Jaycar sells a kit (which I did) but it's not worth the money unless the price has changed.
