A vehicle (2) comprises a plurality of vehicle lights (14a-k) to be matched by additional lights (8a-j) in use; respective connecting interfaces (20a-20h) associated with each of the vehicle lights (14a-k); and an electronic controller (24) for controlling supply of light-activating power to the vehicle lights (14a-k) and to the associated connecting interfaces (20a-20h).
