Just in time for Spring! This Instructable is for a nice lockable bike trunk made from a lightweight plastic ammo box that can be used for a picnic or in my case transporting my lunch. I work swing shift and ride home at night so I wanted to light it up  as well. The insulated insert comes out for cleaning and the lights are a re-purposed battery powered flashing Christmas light string that I got at Walgreens last Christmas for cheap. I removed the crappy colorful lights and replaced them with superbright red and yellow LED's that are really bright.

The ammo box
I got this on Amazon, search "Ammo box" less than 13 bucks with free 2 day shipping  if you sign up for some kind of premiere thing. just cancel after you get it. it costs nothing. it's got an o-ring type seal all the way around and is completely water proof

Those lights are defiantly obnoxious enough to get you noticed... Nice instructible
