Yep, We all want pictures of your lights on the trucks.

You should be able to see what the lights draw on the package before you buy them.

P= power/watts
I= amps
E= volts

E= volts
I= amps
R= resistance

P= IxE
E= IxR

You should be able to figure out whatever you need with that.

here are the 2 types of lights i am thinkin about using

either the "rope" type lights, or the LED lights.

i think the rope lights would be easier to put on the truck.

the bad part is how to attach them to the truck, tape i guess

Zip-ties work nicely.

yep, i had the zip ties in the back of my mind, would be better than tape.

Little suction cups

another very good idea, hadn't thought of that.

thanks men.

remember, dont block the air flow to the zoodad bill

Actually I close off the from of the zoodad for the winter so the filter draws in preheated air to aid with engine warmup.
The front of the new bumper is a good 10" from the grille so there's plenty o air getting in.

We did get the tree up,lit and decorated Friday tho.

i just looked at the rope light stuff...put some on a shelf in my garage...
behind some motorcycle models that are "on display"...

the bulbs draw .05watts PER bulb...one bulb per inch...a 6 foot
section draws all of 3.6 watts (120v AC)...the 6foots white rope
light i bought was less than 6 dollars

lowes had 18 foot strands in red, white OR blue...for about
8bucks if you do the math (18ft x 12bulbs-per-foot = 216bulbs....
216bulbs x .05watts per bulb = 10.8 watts)

if your gonna put a wreath on the front make SURE it doesnt have
any RED lights on the wreath
