I was still in the process of still reading through this massive thread start to finish.... at one point your dome did still come on:

at that point I would have guessed that maybe your diodes fried and need replacing if the wire connection between the two lights was still good, however if the rear dome light is not working at all that is more troubling and I am not sure, I would probably open all four doors (incase 1-2 of the door switches went bad) then with all 4 doors open take a volt meter and probe the dome light for power, being careful not to short anything together while your checking. (I am uncertain what all activity can fry the BIU, but it seems like they should have fused that thing better from the factory!)
To me it seems like the only things that can go wrong are a bad connection as a result of the mod, or a damaged BIU.
Luckily one guy outlined how to fix the BIU: https://www.legacygt.com/topic/86431-diy-05-blbp-stereoheat-switchesmirror-switch-illumination-repair-biu-repair/
