Trailer Hitch LED Christmas Wreath

For a Christmas present this year I made my girlfriends dad a Christmas wreath with LEDs that attaches to the trailer hitch of his van. It was fairly simple to do.

Parts from Auto-zone:
  • 12v LEDs (LEDs with built in resistors for 12v applications)
  • trailer hitch Chevy brake light
  • trailer hitch wiring harness adaptor
Other materials:
  • 0.22" acrylic
  • black plastic spray paint
  • fake Christmas wreath
  • random assortment of wire

     Isn't cool looking! Just needs a big red bow!



    Lights off. The LEDs are really bright.



    Cannibalized Chevy trailer hitch brake light, acrylic 'X' bracket epoxied to the Chevy trailer hitch,and the wreath is attached via wires.
