Question How do I wire up a canopy/topper on 03 Dbl Cab?

I just bought a used Snugtop Supersport Canopy for my 2003 Double Cab. I have no idea on how to wire it up. Any help or DIY articles you know of on this subject would be great!!

The canopy came with a wiring harness poking out from the rear left side with quick connect plastic clips, where do I connect to? There is black/red side and a black/white side.

Thanks for the help!

What power is needed for the canopy/topper?

I need to power up the rear 3rd taillight and the dome light inside the canopy.

Looks like you may need to tap power manually. The 3rd light is as simple as tapping one of your brake lights wires. For the dome light, depends on whether you want it to turn on when you open the doors of the truck, or whether you just want to install a switch somewhere in the top so you can turn it on/off at your leisure.

Either way you need to get your hands on a wiring diagram. I have one at home I can send to you. Just send me a PM so I remember.
