Interior Lighting Too Dark

Has anyone figured out how to wire the front interior reading lights to come on when the doors are open ? My 2003 TL-S has a black interior and man, it is DARK in there at night.

Just curious if this is possible...or not worth the grief.

Thanks in advance

My 05 Accord does this, but it's the first Honda I've had that did - and I agree it's nice. I'd be interested in doing it if it were simple, but I'm sure it isn't.

Yeah, I had an 88 Legend and it had nice front and rear lighting. Do the reading lights come on or is there a separate light on the Honda ?

The map lights come on along with the dome light in my 05 Accord.

I believe if you switch your doom light to "door" position, the light will come on when you unlock the car by the remote or by the key.
