Default Need some help: XLT>FX4 dome lights

I am looking at swapping to an FX4 headliner. I did not get the headliner harness with the headliner, but got all the cubbies/lights/rails.

Looking at the XLT dome light, there is a slider switch to set on/off/on with door. This has a 3 pin plug.

Looking at the FX4 dome light, there is no switch, and this takes a 4 pin harness.

Comparing pic below



The red circles are the harness connections. The orange circles appear to be openings for more lights?

On the FX4 pod: Two of these traces appear to be for the orange circles, two appear to be for the main light. No switch present.

On the XLT pod: There are three traces, and the slider goes between the modes to allow on/off/always on.

So here are some thoughts:
  1. Since I am coming from the XLT harness, it looks like I might be able to add my own slider, but the traces would not allow the standard XLT switch functionality without tweaking the traces.
  2. There is probably a dome light switch in the FX4 dash, however, I do not have this 4 pin harness, I can easily fab up the wire to go wherever it needs to go.
  3. What are these other vacant spots used for?

Any help would be great

My FX4 didn't have the slider but if I clicked the light in it would then either the left or right side on/off (whichever you pressed). I'll pull the wiring diagram for the fx4 later and XLT and send it to you. Unfortunately I've sold mine recently so I can't send any pics. I put LEDs in mine but I don't remember extra lights being in mine. Hopefully someone can take a picture for you.

This particular section is the rear/center dome light. The front ones have the clikcy switches on the lens, but I do like wiring diagrams.
