Rocker switch Led light on/off and when doors open/close

As you may know, there many ways to wire a rocker switch to any light. But in my case, I wanted to play play safe and not to mess to much with the electric system of the car.
I wanted to install 4 Led strip lights in my car's interior which could be turned ON/OFF with the rocker switch and also when the doors open. I couldn't find too much information and sometimes what I found was confusing. I hope my information can help anyone.
I installed 4 LED strip lights in my car's interior which can be turned ON/OFF using the rocker switch or when any door is open. I wired the 4 LED lights in series by connecting all positive wires with positive wires and all negative wires with negative wires. I ran a wire with a in-line fuse from the positive terminal of the battery and connected to the LED positive wires. Then I connected a wire to the switch middle pin ACC, and connected the other end of the wire to the LED negative wires. I connected a wire to the ground pin of the switch and grounded to the chassis. This will power the lights using the switch. Now to power the lights when the doors open, I connected the negative wires of the doors switches together to the rocker switch POWER pin.

I didn't want my car to burn down to ashes or my home to the last bone. It's a brand new car, and you know messing with the fuse box,wires under the dashboard, soldering here and there can cause a fire.
