Interior light question

I know im always asking questions on stuff but i dont know much. Is there any way i can keep the interior light by your feet on while the dome on the roof is off.

The only way the light by the feet go on is if i open the doors or open the light in the middle....

Those lights are all on the same circuit, so not possible with the factory wiring. It is certainly possible with electrical modifications.

Take the light bulb out of the dome, and turn them on with the button

Take my car - it's developed an increasingly frequent habit of turning on just the footwell lights and not the dome light.
