Dome light controls

I have a 2007 wagon and want to be able to turn the dome light on from the drivers seat.

Is there a button somewhere I am missing?

If there is no button, could I wire up my own button as simply as wiring up a momentary switch that grounds the door pins (acting like a door is open)?
Or would the car not like a door opening while it is moving?
I was thinking of putting the switch/button next to the instrument dimmer in one of the blank spaces there -anyone know what these blanks were used for?

Anyone done a similar mod to this?

Cheers!

There should be a switch behind the light with 3 options. On. Off. Door

Yeah i knew that switch was there - it is set to Door currently.

I want a way to turn the dome light on from the drivers seat - it is very hard to reach back and flick that switch from the drivers seat.

Leave it on "door" and open the drivers door to the first click when you want the light on?
