Does the new dome light have a switch on it?

If yes, do you want to use that switch instead of the one on the headlight switch?

You can connect the new white wire to the ground common point of the door switches - “courtesy” - map light.

Those wires are white.

With an ohmmeter you can verify the factory connections are intact.
