Default Added lights on sound bar

The picture doesn't do it justice, but I added two lights on the backside of my sound bar and one on the front. The two on the back light up the whole back really well and when I have the tailgate open it lights up the ground as well. The front lights up just as well. I disconnected my dome light and hookd everything to it.

I used those LED lights that some people were using on here to light up under their jeep.

Here's a picture with the lights turned off. It was pretty easy to do. I drilled the holes so that the lights would fit snug. I took the light dome off. There is a connection that will disconnect. Once I did that, I ran the wires through the soundbar. I then connected the LED wires to the dome light wires and kept the dome light disconnected. I hope this helps some.
