Can you post a picture of your control center? You might be able to loosen a panel to gain access behind your radio and light switches. The wires to your lights switches are probably run next to the radio speaker wires.
If you have cabinets its also possible to cut a small hole inside the cabinet to access the wires. My trailer had horrible interference. Was able to separate wires and use aluminum foil to try and shield them in spots. Like where the wires enter the roof. My installer ran all my wires through the same hole!!
Do you like tinkering with electronics? You can buy LED constant current drivers and build your own leds. Its not cheap but it can be fun if you like that type of thing. Most parts are available from supply places like digi-key. Rest comes from ebay. Meanwell makes tiny LED drivers. You can buy CREE brand leds. Ebay has heat sinks and thermal glue. You end up with a very high quality light that is PWM dimmable. I made a bunch around 5 years ago. Gave some to camping buddies for a donation. Still have a lot of leftover material in the garage. Got to think prices have gone down since then. It was around $12 a light in material for a CREE light run off a meanwell driver.
