I was thinking about doing that but people around here already stole 2 $5 d-rings off my jeep so I can only imagine that they would take my $10 lights.

I think most of us are guys on this forum. Probably not a hole lot of decorating goes on. j/k

My Cherokee is red. That should suffice.

When I was in highschool I would put a reef on my 75 Marquis. It was big and white. It felt mandatory.

How would you go about getting the lights lit up on a Jeep? Like how would you wire them? Would love to do this!
