Somebody correct me if i'm wrong. The two wires from your old light are 1 hot, 1 ground. The base of the light assembly is not grounded. The hot +12V wire to the light is constant power and the light is turned on by the door switch or the courtesy switch by completing the ground circuit. If you twist the two wires from the switches and attach them to hot BAD things will happen.
