Automatic Party Lights!

A couple of weeks ago there was a thread about using your running lights when in camp like people use awning party lights.

I had an idea to take it to the next level

I made a box that uses a photocell and when it gets dark it turns on your running lights automatically. It uses the power from the trailer plug so all you do is plug it in.

With my led running lights it works pretty neat.

Here are a couple of photos....
