Both the 1960 wiring diagram and the Owner's Manual (glove box manual) agree that the dome lights do not come on when the front doors are opened. If the car is a four door, and equipped with the rear door switches, then the dome lamps will come on when the REAR doors are opened. So, in our 300F hardtops, the dome lights are only activated by the dome lamp switch on the instrument panel. I do not know the rational here, as it would seem convenient to have overhead light when entering the rear passenger area in the dark. Such was not the case, however. Hope this helps out. 300ly, Gil C. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
