I kind of want to put Christmas lights on my roof rack. But I can't believe someone hasn't come up with an easier way -- (edited)

than having to use a power inverter and running the wires from inside to outside. Why can't I find a simple way to just plug them in to my trailer hitch power?

What about using battery operated lights? -- (link) - Krusty Dec 3, 07:21 14
- I'm just not sure how weather resistant the battery box would be. But this might be my only option to do it easily. -- nm - sycor Dec 3, 07:40 12
  - They're indoor/outdoor so they should be good for what you want. People use them on their trees outside in the winter here with no issues -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 07:56 4
    - sycor is like me. He drives *really* fast. Water hitting it at an additional 100mph could make a difference. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 08:01 3

      - Okay then definitely duct tape the shit out of it -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:02
  - Masking tape? Or maybe something like shrink wrap? -- nm* - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 07:51
  - Have you considered just wrapping it in tape? Electrical tape, maybe? Or scotch tape? Packaging tape is an option. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 07:48 3
    - I wouldn't recommend transparent tape - unless you use a good 3-4 rolls and wrap that sh!t up nice and tight -- nm - decline Dec 3, 07:51 2
      - Surgical tape... magnetic tape... there's lots of options. -- nm - Mop Dec 3, 08:27
      - Yeah, just wrap the car. I mean, leave one door accessible but wrap the rest. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 07:53
  - just wrap it in gaffers tape. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 3, 07:44
  - just wrap it in some duct tape and you'll be fine -- nm - decline Dec 3, 07:41
- Yeah, that is how they are done. We use a version of them for our door wreath. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 3, 07:26
