Default Lights on the Coupe

So my wife wants me to put led Christmas lights on the car around Christmas season to drive around here on base. If I were to do this for her how would I be able to do that? I told her I don't think it can be done but I will check. So has anyone ever done this?

Are you 6 or 12 volt? If your 12 you could run a power inverter and just plug them in

Just Google 6volt LED lights for cars. Came up with a whole boatload of sources.
