I've done this before - what you have to do is install a cutoff switch somewhere between the door jamb switches and the common to the light, or between the light itself and earth. Turn the switch off, the domes don't come on. Turn it on, they work normally.

Of course, my motives for this were somewhat nefarious - why do YOU want to do it? :laugh3:

Seriously, it's not that difficult if you have your FSM, since it will have the wiring diagrams and splice/component locators (which saves hours with oddball electrical jobs...)

You could remove the buttons in the door frame, then if you need the lights on just turn them on with the headlight switch. JIM.
