    There is a 400 watt anytime mod. I have not looked into what is actually involved with it, as I have never had a need to run more than the outlet provides me. Try searching around on here and that should fix your issue for you then.

    What’s the amperage though? Because hooking two up could put you over the 1.2 amp rating for the outlet while driving

    That was my other question. 1.3 amps is the max at 100 watts? I think I will get some LEDs.

    They make smaller ones that just fit the light wires as well.

    Do you guys have any issues with the lights rattling against the clear coat at speed then causing scratches around the bed?

    I'll be the only NJ'er on my commute with Christmas lights...

    I did think of that but I stretch the lights so tight that they hardly even move.. And each light has a clip and zip tied.

    Fun seasonal mod, hopefully my boys will appreciate it!

    Tried to get it as clean as possible, hate the look of wires hanging and loose.

    I did it for 2-3 weeks last year. Blue LED Icicle Lights wrapped along the bed rails. No Cop-stops. I'll be doing it again this year. (Knock on wood)
    I have a photo somewhere if I can find it.
