I am going to mount the switch half inside the rear jamb and mount a more powerfull magnet inside the rear of the door, when the door opens the magnet moves away from the switch and closes the circuit. I tried the switch with some 1/4" N48 magnets and it holds the circuit open from 4" away. I haven't tested the switch to see if it will handle the amperage but it's only one bulb unless I hook my under dash floor lights up to it.
If I need to I can wire a simple relay for a few dollars.

Can you post a pic of the switches and the install? Please.
