No Crown Vic/Grand Marquis ever had courtesy lamps in the rear doors. However, that did not stop me from installing them. Here are the chrome lamps I purchased, masked and ready to be painted.

To gain access to the wiring tunnel between the body and the door, you must remove the panel that covers the seat belt track.

I used a coathanger to snake up through the door. Note the cut red wire and ground wire. Apparently something else from my Vic's days with the Feds.

There is little space inside the doors, so I used pliers to grab the end of the coathanger and pull it through.
