Dynamic lighting On doors

Is there an easy way to have a door with dynamic light that changes when door opened ‘ closed . Can I have  Dynamic lighting on a token for instance?
I dunno exactly what you are asking but you have a pro account, the Doorknocker API does everything you could possibly want for automating doors, secret walls, windows, and locked doors.

Generally mapmakers draw the doors in a floor plan as an integral part of the illustration. If you do have a map with no door art and you want to add door tokens, try doing a google search for a script called "Matt's Doors". I believe it had the capability to rotate doors or switch token faces as well as move DL lines. In general though, I cannot recommend the Doorknocker script DM Eddie mentioned highly enough. It's the best door script out there.
You can actually make a door tile with dungeondraft very easily I'm sure inkarnate also.  I don't even bother though, I find alot of DM's get caught up in creative mode that they fail to realize that you have a table of players who are capable of coping with a lil rough around the edges stuff like missing doors and such.  I've gotten lost in API's and map making enough to know that 50% of my wasted time is in those two things lol.  Sometimes its just simpler and faster to do things theatre of the mind and do the extra 2 clicks or do the extra simple math in ones head instead of writing hours worth of stuff for something that will get seen for 2 minutes.

Agreed on all points. "If you can see through it, the door is open" was our mantra. Now we are so used to it, it doesn't even register.
