its lite up..so how is it not hooked up?

its pretty simple..looks like you have a winch up front..all you need is 2 wires and a switch...also you need a step down from 110v to 12v which i think a resistor can do..

put the resistor in the middle of the + wire. and a switch inside or even outside. then just a negative.

to get even fancier connect it so when ur parking lights come on the reef comes on lol

If there is a electrical whizz on here, can you post up how that could be done on our rigs so that it works with the parking lights? That would be really cool!

i started wiring a paper for you...but thought of this: Automobile Christmas Lights (804300) - Specialty Lights - Ace Hardware

just run a switch to it..or find the parking light wire:

have a multimeter with you set it so u can see volts. you need to find the wire that shows volts when u turn ur light switch. touch each wire and see turn on and see if it reads like 12v, if it dosent repeat till you find the wire..

or you could even tap in to the end of the parking light harness

most easier options right there
