GM pinched pennies by locating the switches close to their controller and have less wiring, and saved again by having them be unlit. Other places in this forum detail how to install lights that can encircle the light control switches. Of course, the headliner would have to be lowered and power connections probably changed for the dome light. In other words, it all can be done, but it would more than you would think at first impression. If you don't like the light wash, just cover with electrical tape and then discover all you suddenly can't see at night!
