The recent posts about adding lights to the rear and tongue reminded me to share this.  There had also been a few previous posts about the bright exterior lights, and some mentioned adding dimmers.  We've added these dimmers to ours. From what I've read, Oliver has changed the way the exterior lights are switched over the years so this modification may not work for everyone.  On our 2022 LE2, the four Porch lights on both sides of the trailer are on a single switch, as are the lower Courtesy lights.  The Porch lights are quite bright, which can be very annoying, especially to neighbors on the streetside. Though we can just use the awning light if we need to keep the streetside dark, sometimes we like less intense lighting.  These dimmers replace the rockers in the original control panel.  It's an easy modification, but requires enlarging the rocker hole slightly. We also added a dimmer to the Main Cabin lights.  (Note: the blue light ring in the picture doesn't indicate whether the light is on/off, it's always on or off depending on a separate setting.)

I’ve been looking for a quality dimming option for the three lights you mentioned, and I appreciate you sharing your results.

The price for your dimmer switches at about $20 is sure a BUNCH cheaper than what I paid for my single dimmer switch some 10 years ago.  And, the finished product looks great too.

I used the stainless steel version of these when I added LED strip lights under my awning a few years ago. Love them..
