Does anyone know how many Amps 2 40 watt LED work lights will draw off a 12 v system? Im thinking of just running them off my cigarette lighter because I think they will only draw about 5 Amps but I am not very knowledgeable with electrics

Mate I remember you telling me there is a grommet in the back of the K74 near the jack to run a couple of wires out the back of the cab. I removed the trim, Driver side rear of the cab but buggered if I could find anything, do you remember in any more detail how to find it?

I'll have a look see if I've any pictures of it

thanks for that I was looking out of the rear of the truck but you say its underneath, which makes sense, thanks

that said, there is a vent at the rear that I've used for cabling but it doesn't look as neat
