Does it run off of the 12V battery? 2) Do I need to buy a specific light? 2 reasons I ask - 1) I might put some christmas lights on there... 2) I need to put some dash lights in there, and all the wires are just gone! | | |

there are 12V Christmas [holiday?] lights that you could rig up on the truck, but if you just wanna have some yard-art, run an extension cord out and use normal outdoor house lights
