Your cargo light must not depend on the dome light to be on to work unless the white wire from the dome light is also run to the cargo light housing, which would provide the ground side for the cargo light but you'd still have to switch the orange power wire on to get the cargo light to work.

If you ground a wire from the cargo light to the cab, you won't need the dome light to come on. All you need to do is turn the cargo light switch on.
