Default Interior Light Wireing Help

I'm finally putting door panels back on from the new carpet install.

I noticed yesterday that the passenger side the brown/white and brown only wires are reversed from the attached picture. For the interior lights, should all the brown/white and brown only wires be aligned the same?

This pic is the drivers side...

It is the same. It only change the position of the switch. If you interchange the two brown wires, the position of the switch where before the light is always on,after will be on when the door is open and viceversa.
Best regards

NOTE the door lights it wont matter how you have the the 2 ground wires attached as they sit in a particle board frame and the lights housings are plastic. BUT the roof light have to be wired correctly or they can short out the brown wire goes to the metal frame the stripe brown goes to the end that has the button then power goes to the opposite end posting a picture would be a good thing for the roof lights. Also put some heat shrink on all of the wire ends not just power so it the ground breaks off it wont short out on the power feed

Thanks for the reply guys!

I'll leave the wiring as is, this way the switch positions will be the same on each side of the car.

As requested, attached are the cabin light and secondly the rear hatch light wiring.
