yup yup, downloaded them last night.... I sometimes forget the features on here.....
I take it that is for the large light in the pop top, not the dome light behind the seat. I'll get to all the electrical fun stuff this week while I wait for even more parts.

That is correct. The switch you are referring to does control the rear light above the foldup table. The dome light above the front two seats is contralled by the door switches and the switch on the light itself.
