Do what ya want...
Spend 5 buck & fix your car
Or save the fiver & spend a couple hours to swap the ignition
And reprogram the fobs
Good luck either way

Could you send new pics please. Im not able to see them for some reason Man its the little things that are so awesome sometimes. I now have working courtesy lights and tonight I really appreciated it when I needed to find something in the trunk. 
Here are some pictures of the transistor that will need to be replaced. It was very simple to do just kind of nerve racking since I do not have a very steady hand from all the years of working on cars.
I ordered the transistor off of Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290761213450...84.m1497.l2649
It arrived 3 days after I won so I highly recommend this seller.
BCM (obviously) lol
Buz71A 13amp transistor
Location of part on board and if you do this I recommend getting some desoldering braid to pull the old solder out after you remove the transistor so you have clean holes to fill back in, not totally neccesary but helpful.
View of the back to show you the 5 points that will need to have the solder removed, 3 are for the transistor and the other 2 hold the heat sink on.
I cant believe I waited 3 years to finally fix this problem.
