Anyone know where to find a standard plug for the power packs on the roof to wire in some Xmas lights? Thanks

I would be surprised if there are 12v Christmas lights with a Deutsch DTP connector. They come with a 12v cig lighter fitting which you would need to change the plug. Or look for a Deutsch DTP to cig adapter cable, someone has done a DIY version on the forum.

This solution is a bit over the top, unless you use it for other purposes as well.

When I saw this back in August I thought similar. Then I realised that plugging it into a rooftop outlet is just a serving suggestion. It's a breakout box that would be equally at home underneath a cargo shelf with a different input cable. Because it has an Anderson input you could also run it from an Anderson outlet via an extension cable to bring temporary power into a tent or awning if you're camped beside your vehicle.
