Get This Look: 12 Volt Christmas Lights, Pedro's 2020 Art Car
🥳 DIY Parade Fun: Decking Out Your Daily Driver with 12-Volt Lights
While the city parades may have been canceled this year, there are no rules about making a parade of your own! All you need are a few strings of **12-volt Christmas lights** and some simple techniques for non-marring installation.
Using **car accessory plugs** eliminates the need for an additional battery or inverter, making the process quick and easy. The cars featured here all showcase the popular **multi color lights on green wire**.
⭐️ Customer Love: Pedro's Review
I have received the lights **thank you so much for being a great business to work with**. I’ve already spread the name around and shared links. I’m really impressed by your product, I’ve had the idea to put Christmas lights on my car for a while but I am glad that you guys made it possible. I hope to do more business in the future.

🛠️ Installation and Safety Tips
A Note on Long-Term Installation:
The installations for these cars were for **short term events** (parades). For longer-term installation, be aware of how the lights are rubbing your car's clear coat. (For the month of December, we love to wrap a luggage platform with lights and greenery—no contact with paint involved. Photos coming soon!)
Non-Marring Securing Techniques
- **Use Natural Seams:** Try to use windows and **natural seams** of the vehicle to hold the lights in place, minimizing contact with painted surfaces.
- **Painter's Tape on Glass:** Low adhesive **painter's tape** on glass is an option for securing lights to windows if there are no special films installed. (**Always test in an inconspicuous spot first!**)
- **Interior Decorating:** Installing the lights **inside the car** with painter's tape is also a popular tip shared with us, providing a fun glow that doesn't touch the exterior paint.
