    What's the best way to hookup Christmas lights to my truck? I have an SR, so no outlet in the bed. :(

    Yawn...
    Hook an inverter straight to your battery. Get creative with where you mount it.

    Christmas lights on a vehicle - Is that legal over there in Hawaii?

    Sweet. This may be my best option. Any idea if these are waterproof? Rains quite a bit during Hawaii winters.

    I didn't know Hawaii had a winter...

    They were indoor/outdoor rated lights. I remember finding them while shoping durring last years BF. They're pretty neat, have multiple modes including an auto on6/off18 power mode. Batterys last about month using that mode.

    Here's a pic of mine in the front window. Not the best quality pic, but the video is a little better. I didn't mount them outside. I just put them on the dash and along the rear seat. Didn't want anyone to steel them.
