you don't need a flash for anything you add on to your rig.
As far as new lights, I installed some Hellas on my front bumper, just drilled a hole down through the top of the bumper and ran the wires up the side of the headlights, then I tapped them into the hot wire for my low beams, so now when ever my low beams are on, they are on, but when i hit my high beams, they go off... hope that helps...

Someone mentioned that you will need to tell the computer that the hardtop is there. I can't find that thread at the moment.

I've seen a few threads saying that if you did not get the hard top from the factory then the computer will not recognize the rear wiper or defroster. Sounds like they can flash the computer for that to work though.

I would wait until you take it into the dealer next time and complain that the rear wiper does not work, they'll run some diagnostics and soon your stuff will work. If you go in and tell em that you added it, they will be sure to charge you!
