Hey all, in the manual it says you can change the reading light to blue... the white is too bright when my little one is sleeping...  but I can't figure out how!
 
From the manual:
"There are two adjustable reading lights in the front above the head board, these lights have two settings, if you press the button once you have a blue night light, if you press and hold the button you will have a cool white reading light. "

Does anyone know how to change it to blue or maybe this an outdated feature? I have a 2018 t@b CS. Thanks!

    My 2018 320S won't turn to blue either. My guess is that the lights have changed on the 2018 and the manual has not been updated. The current manual is 2017. But it would be great if I'm wrong.

    I changed mine to the blue/white lights found in the 400. The stock 320lights were to bright for this “little one!” Lol

    No blue night light in this 2017 CSS.  Headboard?

    Do you have a link to the warm white replacement?

    I decided to order some light gels from amazon rather than replace the light fixtures. I also found colored and black-out cellophane covers in various shapes and sizes to put over the blue tv light and the lighted face of the jensen amp.

    @drazilgod how did you remove the main cabin light?  I have twisted it and pulled on it, but it doesn’t seem to budge.  I’m afraid to pull or twist to hard in fear of breaking it!

    @Marceline - These look like them.  They have several options, $29.99 a pair:

    I found out that the main cabin light retainer ring just pops off.  I just put a screwdriver under it and gently pried it away from the light.  The light fixture can then be removed by unscrewing the screws.

    I just found this after I sent a note to NuCamp about the 320S not having blue lights... It looks very much like the T@G manual was written first and this got through editing. My guess anyway. My T@B has only one setting on white lights.

    I find the warm white light is more pleasant and sleep inducing.
    Installed them this week.

    I just hang my hat on the light fixture. It lets out just the right amount of light that way.

    The two led "reading lights" at the back were just too bright. We replaced them with the exact fixture from Amazon in warm white. Same with the main overhead. Same with the bathroom light. Same with the exterior "porch" light. 
    Early generation led lights didn't match "old school" incandescent colors. Then people just got used to the blueish white light (sometimes called cool white or sunlight color). Since I'm over 30 and I'm sorta in the lighting business, warm white seems more natural to me. The brand that NuCamp sources for their fixtures sells both colors, same price. 
    Either no one else is bothered by the lights, or maybe it's a marketing thing - maybe the cool white lights give more pop in the RV showroom. 
    I have asked some 20 something's and they don't even notice that the cool white lights are odd. 
    Anyway, it was kinda cheap, very easy to swap them out. 
    is your interior overhead light an add-on?  I saw one at a Tearstock but cannot find where to buy it.
