Default Interior lighting

When i bought my jeep the guy made the interior light switch into the flood light switch. There is already another switch installed that isn't used for anything so i'm guessing i could hook it up to that.

Should i just fallow the wire coming from the light on my roof (i've already removed all the lining on the roof) till where it ends or what?

I learn things as i go along so i'm not too familiar with a job like this but i'd like to learn. I know how to crimp and strip wires so i'm guessing it really shouldn't be that challenging for me to do. Just don't know if theres anything i need to know before attempting this.

Thanks in advance!

By exterior flood light do you mean the fog lights? That may be the factory switch. Not sure about a 95 but on my 89 you turn the headlight pull counter clockwise to turn on the interior lights. There is no switch per say. They should also come on when you open the door too.

They do come on when i open the doors but there is nothing to turn them on inside my jeep. And the switch that i am talking about is just in between the head light **** and the rear defroster switch. Just figured it was switched around since the owner before me did a lot of odd modifications (he couldn't even hook up a head unit correctly).

Only thing that my headlights **** does is control the brightness of my dashboard. Unless you are talking about something else, but that's what I'm understanding.

it does controle the brightness but it also controls the interior lights, like said above keep turning it to the left till it wants to stop and then try it a little more and it should turn on the interior lights
