Best suggestion I can make is phone and ask. You might get a stock answer
but they might also tell you it's fine. Nothing to lose.

You can buy 12v lights at an RV supply, but if you look at Target or Walmart
you will probably find a short string that runs on 2 D cell batteries. That's
what I used today for lights on my jeep for my club's annual Toys for Tots jeep
run.
[The club collected over 2300 toys today, I won a Tuffy console at the raffle,
and my girlfriend won a Uniden 510xl CB and an $800 ARB 12v/120v fridge. And
like a true jeeping girlfriend, she decided that the fridge should live in my
garage :-) ]

I wish I had a girlfriend like yours...
On the other hand, my wife wouldn't like it a bit.

Re: wiring x-mas lights in to 12-volt
It may be Christmas, but if you are gonna use these lights at night on the
road, please give a thought for oncoming traffic.. you could be mistaken for
a static display..
