New doors shouldn't make any difference to courtesy lights, they're not connected  :-?. The push switch is in the B post, so unless you've damaged them when you've been swapping doors, electrically nothing should have changed.  :y

Did you replace the loom from your old doors and try then in the new doors, I changed a door a few years ago and had the same problem, I used the loom from the old door and problem solved :y

There's no electrical link between the lamp & the door .. .. other than the door pressing the switch.
