Question:
I just bought a canopy for my truck. It has a tiny little brake light and a wimpy interior light. What section of your site should I look at for lights? I was looking at trailer brake light bars 3-functions and they seem like a good idea - but will they work for a canopy? Will I have the right wires to hook it up? Ill be jumping from the wires inside the rear truck lights for power and grounding. Thanks!

Congrats on your new purchase! I recommend going with a LED utility light like the Multipurpose LED Utility Light item # 328-007-60WE. It uses the standard white and black wiring configuration so you should have no issue powering it.
A lightbar like item # UCL59CB would work as well. It's just going to come down to personal preference and how bright you want the light to be.
I have linked our entire selection of utility lights below if you don't like this one.
