    Scarcella said that about 1,000 pieces of tape were used to fix the lights to the car. It was running a dual battery system, with a 240 volt inverter and an extension lead being used to power the lights.

    While police ordered them to take the lights off immediately, the pair couldn’t do it: the tape was so strong that it would have damaged the paint, so they told Scarcella they had to go home to use a heat gun in order to remove it.

      Wait, so he had a dual battery running at 12V DC, powering an Inverter to convert it to 240V AC to power (I assume) 5V DC LED Christmas lights.

      This car should have been impounded for being an Electricians nightmare!
