The stock setup has the white wire going to the headlight switch which grounds it (to complete the circuit and turn on the light) when you turn the knob all the way counterclockwise.

The added door pin switches also complete the circuit to ground when the door is open. So their wires can simply be spliced into the dome light's existing white wire at any convenient location. Like under the dash near where the white wire connects to the headlight switch for example.
