Has anyone switched their dome light to a 97+ style ? The current one I have now really sucks.

You hae to run a "hot" wire, either constant or ignition switched, to it. But I have one and it's nice to read while driving.

Does it have a map light? Or just the door lights.
If they have a map light, you do need to have a constant hot wire to it. Unless you want to keep your door open while reading.

Throw an overhead console in it and you'll get 4 overhead lights (an additional 2 for the rear seat area).

It's hard to find a gray console for a 96 and older cherokee. What do those do anyways ? Just temp and compass ? That's more than I need.

But if you're swapping a new-style front dome with maplights in place of an old-style front dome with maplights, it should be plug and play, right?

Yep, just temp and compass with 4 map lights that operate with the doors or independently right at the light. (I've got a freshly recovered gray one that I'm going to ebay, wiring and all)camarors8992 said:
Not exactly plug and play. You might have to cut & splice a few wires since the connectors are different on the newer dome light.Rob Mayercik said:
