The front dome light, whether it be in the mirror (non-sunroof equipped models) or by the sunroof controls will not come on with the door. That's pretty much just a reading light. The center and rear lights will come on with the door. If you want more light, I suggest converting them to LED. I have a how-to in my signature, but since then most autoparts stores have started carrying festoon-style LED bulbs that would work. Cheap, easy, and you get a LOT more light.
