With all the 100 layer video challenges floating around on the internet, we thought we would join the craze with a unique approach for the holidays. We've seen girls put on 100 layers of makeup, guys with 100 sweaters choking the life out of them, 100 of this and 100 of that. Why not take it up a notch and include the holidays in the fun. We decided to hit our local Menards store on the 23rd for their half off light sale. Needless to say, we cleaned out the last of what they had on their shelves and ended up with a total of 102 sets of LED Christmas bulbs, and entire cart and a half full of bulbs. We began installing them on the Ford Excursion in this video on the 23rd of December and the entire process took nearly 8 hours of wiring. Over 500 zip ties were used in the making of this video as well as 5-6 boxes of the 3M stick on clips. We had to create places to hang the lights so this became the solution we needed as they worked very well and held tight even in temperatures around the 20's. Obviously we can't just plug these lights in to the car itself, so we had to use power invertors to get the show going. The LED light strips were small and didn't produce much watt draw so it was ideal for this application. We added strand after strand without as much as the lights dimming down. We decided to throw a few extra sets on the Chevy Malibu in the video as well. If your going to do it, you might as well go all out! After getting everything installed on the vehicles, we headed out to the streets and watched the reactions as people seen us driving and it was priceless. Most people quickly grabbed their cameras with a hope of catching a glimpse of the Christmas vehicles driving the streets lit up like giant Light Bright boards. Faces lit up everywhere as we approached and small kids shouted "I love your car." If we did it for anyone, it was for our own children as they loved it the most. The looks on their faces as they got to climb into vehicles covered in Christmas lights was so worth it. The smiles were ear to ear and the lights were all that they could talk about. Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
