Default Dome/Map light

Any aftermarket or other years map/dome lamps available anywhere that would fit a 2001 S-Crew? I'm wanting to be able to switch off the lights when the doors are open and I can't find anything. Just replacement for the same part. Kid fall asleep on long trips to the lake, and hate waking them up when I stop for gas.

I don't know if it works on our trucks because I've never tried it, but on my 02 explorer if you turn the dimmer switch all the way to where it would turn the dome light on after you open the door it turns the dome light off. I'll have to try it on my truck when I get off work.

Just find the main wire for it and put a switch in it beside the steering wheel

If I can't find a replacement solution, might just do that

No, they're a different shape and mounting style.
