I know it is not quite the same between models as my Custom sedan has courtesy lights in the front seat back operated by the rear door switches and quarter reading lights operated by the pillar switch which is on the drivers side. Also don't know how much difference 23rd 2 doors compare to earlier sedans in wire routing but since the 23rd body is a facelift to the Clippers I would have thought your wire routing to the dash would be similar and not behind a kickpanel or on the passenger side.

All the body wiring on the 47 is on the drivers side with exception of a single wire that continues around over the windshield then back to the R rear door switch and the 2 wires that run above the rear window across to the R quarter lite shown in the photo. Nothing else was on the passenger side. All the wiring comes down thru a channel in the L windshield pillar and then thru under glass sheet metal to exit in an opening under the drivers windshield glass and connect the short distance directly to the main loom via inline connectors. A single longer wire with a ring terminal connects to the power source for the inside lights.
