    Is it possible to change out a single dome light with a map dome light on a '98 Escort?

    yes.

    it's plug and play, but one screw threads into a different part of the roof/headliner and is stiff going in.

    it was simple just had to drill different holes. Map style mount screws in different location.

    No screw issue here either. Literally plug and play swap.

    Wow, I had to drill new holes. the original only had one mount screw in the center and the map style has 2 opposing corners. It wasn't a big deal but it just to a minute with the makita...

    This was one of the first things I changed on my '97. I don't remember having to drill any holes for screws.
