I have ran all new wire for both interior lights(under the dash,and the dome above the rear window).So I just need one hot wire and tie that into a lead for each interior light? Sorry,im not an electrician,just dont want to burn my truck down...hehe, I was actually hoping someone would tell me what color wire to use out of the ones on the headlight switch.

Yes, You only need the one single hot wire and that controls the dome light as well as the Courtesy light in the footwell. Its no problem. And its seriously super easy to figure out the correct color on your own using a test light in the manner I described. I mean I could look at my notes and post maybe tomorrow the color it was on my 76. But you'll get it on your own real fast.

I didn't trace down that portion of the curcuit on my truck so I can't say that the two wires connected to the single headlight switch wire at point X, but it should be fairly easy to find. I had problems with the cluster lights, everything else worked fine.
