Default Wiring for center console question

Hey guys...I've got a 1967 Mustang that I'm about to install a "Mustangs to Fear" center console. My car did not come with a factory console originally. Included in my new console is a courtesy light, a "cigarette charger", and a usb charging port. The console comes prewired with a harness ready to just wire up however I'd like, but I'm not sure how to wire this all up.

I'd like to wire the courtesy light so that it comes on when I turn on the dome light and/or open the doors.

I'd like the USB and cigarette charger to only be hot while I've got the car turned on. Any ideas where (preferably with pictures) as to where or what wire(s) I need to tap into to make this work??

I would want the charger to have power all the time when the key if off so that you can charge phone etc with out having to have the key on.

I don't have a factory wire in our car so cant help with telling you where to tap in. That said, I always wire the USB and lighter constant on. The courtesy light could be wired into the interior lighting fairly easily.. Here is a photo of the interior lights and cigar lighter wiring..
Here is a better image..
