Light-Up Pick-Up Trucks

DIY Holiday Spirit for Your Truck

This brightly decorated Christmas truck belongs to Kris Marshall of Iowa. He used 3000 Christmas lights to decorate his Chevy pick-up. The lights are taped to the truck, but it does not look so hot during the day since you can see the tape and wires.

This Christmas truck is definitely a unique way to get around town and show your festive spirit. The question is, do you need your headlights on when the Christmas lights are on? My advice is to not try this at home because the Christmas truck is definitely breaking some laws.
