80 interior lighting

[larry C leung]

Run power (fused) from the battery to a relayed circuit rigged in
parallel to the door switches in the door jambs. Since it appears that
all four doors trigger your single existing light, it would mean that any
positive line PAST all of the door switches (i.e. right near the light in
the ceiling itself) would work for all four doors. Connect the ground
lead for the triggering circuit directly to ground.
