Check out this thread I started.

Had a cool thought... - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

How do I keep it from back feeding? Can anyone draw up a diagram? Helps if I can see it. Thanks

I did it to my 99.. I wired a 5 wire relay in so the dome light triggers the relay and over rides the parking lights on the back of the light switch.

Be sure to fuse any added 12v signals or at least use the dead leg of an existing fuse

The only side effect of this is when you turn the dome light on manually it turns the parking lights on, but it has not bothered me because 98% of the time its night and they are already on
