A motorist has decked his car with 10,000 colourful lights in hopes of spreading the Christmas spirit.

Jordan Wallace, 20, along with three friends spent ten hours at their Canberra home using duct tape to attach nine sets of lights along the body of a Holden Astra.

The kilometer long line of lights is connected power in the boot of the car ensuring the car is a standout on the road.

'It took a lot of patience and time…all of Tuesday my friends and myself were sticking the lights on the car with duct tape to the vehicle,' Mr Wallace told Daily Mail Australia.

'There's a big battery in the boot and that's connected to an invertor which is converting the 12-volt power from the car to 240-volts to power the lights.

Mr Wallace was eager to decorate his vehicle as unlike lights on a home he is able to see the reaction of people.

'Unfortunately my home isn't decorated...it's not a house that's good for decorating, it's about ten to 15 steps down form the road so you can't see it.'

As a result Mr Wallace first attempted to decorate his vehicle in 2015 with 1000 warm white lights.

It was a tedious task which took hours, but the group of four who spent time duct taping the lights to the car say it was worth it

But this year the 20-year-old wanted to leave a lasting impression as he drove through the streets yelling 'Merry Christmas' and handing out candy canes.

'[People's reactions are] Incredible. I think the first thing people do is have a look of confusion on their face.

'But then you see them look happy and joyous...we haven't had any negative reactions.'

The positive feedback might mean the car will make a return for 2017 as they consider taking part in the City festival.
