    @Puppypunter plug and play tap, then any light bar of your choice.

    I used this as my light:
    $12 Partsam 1PC Red 15" 11 LED Light Bar Stop Turn Tail 3rd Brake Light Truck Trailer Identification ID Bar Waterproof DOT Compliant

    I put one set of these connectors for quick-disconnect to be able to fold down or remove the SofTopper easily:
    $8 Nilight GA0007 1 2Pin Way 16AWG Waterproof Wire 1.5mm Series Terminal Connector-5 Pack,2 Years Warranty

    I chose not to alter my topper at all, (no holes in the material) and attached my light with 3M automotive tape - no issues so far with about 1 year on the install.

    Does the double sided automotive tape adhere well enough to the canvas material?
