Lightbulb my sleigh. let me show you it.

put some pine garland on the rack. had some extra led lights left over from the tree so they found their way on there as well. lengthened the wires and plug them into a power inverter until i wire up a cig. plug. enjoy.

That's the same way I did mine. Ran the power cable for the lights through the passenger then tried hiding the extension cord through the car to the cig lights and used an inverter to plug it in. Some of the looks I got was hilarious.

i cut the plug off the strand and added about 12ft of wire to it and re attached the plug. flipped up the weatherstripping, ran it along the top of the door, under the rubber by the window and then into the car. it will actually reach the power outlet in the hatch. cant wait to go through a drive thru.

You might get a shocked-shower; the drive-thru attendant might spill your drink all over you.
