    Another option is to buy battery operated lights, $5 at Walmart. Two sets will cover entire bed. I do not have the outlet in back so have to make due. Not all Az. Cops like them, but they are legal.

    It seems to be OK in Colorado. Stick with white lights since red and blue lights might get you in trouble.

    Nice. We're you using the snowman originally when it was kicking off while in gear? Assuming those are LED now?

    Never had a problem myself. I like to keep the salt off when I can, so I've hit up the do it yourself car wash places with them. Even before my tonneau cover. Never an issue. At most, it blows the "fuse" or the actual fuse. Just let shit dry out and it'll be fine.

    I don't know. Coming around the back like that. It's kind of difficult to see the tail lights. At least looking at the picture.

    I wouldn't want to see anyone get pulled over for it for a ticket. But you gotta be smart about it and use some common sense.

    Just a bunch of old crap
    I did white LED Christmas lights on my entire bedrack last year and it worked great. I love how I just push a button and they're on or off. Plus, the inverter cuts out when I turn the truck off so I'll never forget and leave them on. I know LEO has issues and will likely write a ticket for red or blue lights though, especially if they flash. White and amber are what's legal here, so I just stuck with soft white to keep things on the up and up. Thinking of busting out more lights and going super gawdy this year.
