Dome can be had under the column covers for the key cylinder light used in EX. Wiring should be present on LX.....

DX ??

Tying the 2 separate circuits together.....your on your own.

Might have to use a relay for the dome light. Not sure how much current the footwell lights will pull. Shouldn't be much if they are true LED.

Parking lights are no problem.

Relay coils and the PWM used by the dome circuit are not a good mix.

guys i need the dome light wiring diagram or the color of the wire and the connector???

If you put a diode across the coil it will act as a suppressor to prevent it from energizing/un energizing. Also a cap could be used to help maintain the voltage.

nir: As for wire colors, I don't know. My service manuals for 01-03.

Do you have a multimeter? You can use it to find the wire that you need.

Under column covers, wiring for key light = WHT/BLU (+12 volts) & WHT/BLK (grounding side)

Well I guess I'll buy some led strip from eBay or auto store.
I've looked on utube someone has posted a video but it was on
09 civic. I have 05 civic so it's not the same wiring.
Has anyone done this on 05 civic??

Yes, I did on my 05. Made my own lighted key cylinder setup, and tapped off of it to run an extra light for the back seat mounted into rear of console.
