    Two packs of blue LED rope lights fit almost perfect on my rack it rack, gives off a cool blue glow, got immediate compliments in the safeway parking lot, best part was when i was driving i saw a 7yr old kid point to my truck and i saw him mouth the words "That's cool!"
    Ya know, with enough zip ties, you can do almost anything!
    Sorry bout the crappy cell phone pics

    My two ropes use about 100 watts, tacomas come with 400 watters, a 200 should do just fine and they cost about $50
