7th December 2010 - Tripping the light

Having been out and about more during the evenings recently, both on nights out and getting home later from work, I've noticed more and more vehicles with additional lights. Obviously there are still vehicles which either don't use the ones they have or the lights are broken and don't work but some carry additional LED lights in various colours adorning the underside of the vehicles, around the mirrors, around the number plate etc. These lights turn these battered vehicles into a mobile light show. And then this evening, on my way back from the hospital with Darcy, I saw my favourite so far. The owner had rigged up red LED lights around the front and rear door handles which lit up when the brakes were applied. Funny thing was that I can only assume he had used the feed from the rear lights as they didn't light up at the same time!
