Need Help Wiring Custom Dome Light

Trying to wire in a two foot LED strip to replace my rear dome light and I can't figure out the wiring. I want the light to come on when a door, the hatch, or both are open and to be off when they are not. Took my meter across everything... Still can't figure it out. A Pink, a yellow, and a purple wire come from the factory dome light wiring harness.

After getting these results, I thought Pink and Purple were my hots, and Yellow was my ground. Tried this and with both open it blew the fuse.
