Converting Scare Lights on remote to regular switches?

I have a 2015 Big Country with the two large outside "scare" lights on each side. I'm not a big fan of the remote, which is set up to turn on both lights at the same time. I would love to wire these two lights into switches inside the camper, like they used to have them.. I know they had it that way as the older control panels had a left and right rocker light switches on the inside panel with all the other internal lights. Trouble is, when I look at the "brains" panel for the remote (behind the cabinet wall), I have no clue which wires are there for the lights. Anyone know which wires this would be or ever attempt this?

Thanks,

Lowflyr

The thing I would try to identify the wires would be to stick a pin through each wire one at a time.
Put one of your probes to ground and the other on the pin.
Turn the lights on each time you move the pin.
The meter should go to 12+ volts when you hit the right wire.
You could also use a trouble shooting light. They have a point that would eliminate the pin.
Keep in mind that the brain probably has one hot wire running to it.
Let us know how you make out.

Peace
