installing reading lamps

I have a 2016 Wildcat 28RKS and I want to install new reading lamps to the bedroom overhead or side panel. Can I get to a wire from the existing super bright reading lamp to power the new lights? Also what are the two red switches above the sink area for? Heating for what? Guess I missed the dealer info at the time I picked up the unit.

Yes, I installed LED lights on the headboard for just this reason. Just make sure you tap into the wires BEFORE the switch.

I'd guess tank heaters for your waste tanks. But no idea.

Our MicroLite 21 DS came with only a ceiling mounted light over the sofa. This was not good for reading in bed when the Murphy is folded down. Rather than trying to fish wires through the front wall I bought 2 battery operated puck lights and stuck them on where they would do the most good. About $10 at Lowes.
