We have a 2021 303rls and the two lights over the theater seats are so bright plus you have to get up to turn them on. Has anyone added a dimmable switch on the wall just to the left where you can turn them on and off and dim without getting up. The ones over the pullout bed are the same way

Works pretty well. On the lowest setting the lights flicker a bit. It I don't use that setting anyway.
I installed the same for the lights over our bed. My side is great but wife's side flickers a bit on the lowest 2 settings.Terry and Patty (Dogs-Sophie and Tessa)

The ones over the theatre seats are more problematic. They are not on a switch at all (individually controlled - like the pantry light but without the motion sensor) but luckily also not on the OneControl system. Technically, not complicated to wire them together on a switch, but this is in a slide, sooo.... trying fish wires down the side wall in the slide won't be easy and may not even be possible with the window in the slide, metal framing and foam insulation. If I decide to tackle this, I would probably change out the lights to the puck lights and look at adding the switch under the cabinet - similar to how the lights are over the rear couch. Not as ideal as on the wall, but at least would be dimmable and would look the same as the ones over the couch.
I will be following this one to see how you make out!

Dennis66 Dennis with the 3 wire dimmer, you will connect the negative with the negative from the battery and the negative from the light. The positive wire from the battery will then tie to one of the leads on the dimmer, and the other wire will go out to the light.
Sorry it took me a bit to fully understand the question.Joseph

wireless dimmer. module goes in the ceiling at the first light in series, you can mount the switch anywhere. they are on amazon; search 12 volt wireless dimmer. If you have an existing wall switch, it would now function as before. If you don't, now you will.Dave and Darren Bakersfield, CA
