Default Christmas lights or no christmas lights?

Well it's that time of the year again. With Christmas right around the corner I decided to put christmas lights in my rig. I would hate to disrespect the cherokee and not even know it, so I need the help from the nice guys and gals on cherokee forum. Christmas lights or no Christmas lights?

Christmas lights.

And put a lighted 5 foot tall inflatable snow man on top, too.

Where are you going to find a drop cord that long?

I only drive with them on when I'm on back roads, or at least I try too lol. And I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you may be able to cut up some led christmas lights and somehow plug them in? I'd have to believe the LEDs themself are dc. Ohh, and I took a picture of the inside too lol
