I have a 2007 Patriot, and I always wondered if anyone else thought that there needs to be a dome light over the back seat? The front dome lights don't do squat when your kid in the back seat drops a crayon.... I feel like there is too much of a gap between the front dome and the rear dome in the back. Any mods or fixes available to put a middle one in?
Interior lighting sucks....

I guess that's why you don't buy a first year model! I'd love to get a new one, but I'm a bit upside down right now. I'm gonna drive this thing til it's dead, or I am... I bet you LOVE the middle dome light!!

Not sure which of the numbers you will need. I suggest you print these out and go to a dealership with them.
I would have preferred that the middle dome had reading lamps like the front.
If I were to buy one to install that is what I would pick.

Here is the wiring diagram for the 3 lights setup.
You should be able to splice into the wires of the driver light.
YL/WT (Yellow with White Stripe) for power
BK/LB (Black with Light Blue Stripe) for ground
YL/LB (Yellow with Light Blue Stripe) is the "override" to turn maps on when courtesy lights are off
If you buy a "map light" style instead of a generic dome just follow the wiring of the front.
