An electric toy vehicle according to the present disclosure comprises an illuminated handlebar including a hollow tube having a first end and a second end. The illuminated handlebar also includes a light disposed within the hollow tube and between the first end and the second end of the tube and a switch electrically coupled to the light and disposed at one of the first end and the second end of the hollow tube. The toy vehicle further includes a motor electrically coupled to the switch and a battery electrically coupled to the motor, the light and the switch. The light is visible within the hollow tube when the switch is activated and the motor powers the electric toy vehicle.

A truck storage box with integrated lighting and power is disclosed. In one embodiment, the lighting is a light assembly including a light emitting diode (LED) strip that is powered by drawing vehicle electrical power from a truck to trailer electrical socket of the vehicle, and routes the electrical power into the truck storage box mounted on the vehicle.

Vehicle power distribution systems are described comprising one or more advanced master control units in electrical communication with a vehicle power source. The advanced master control unit is configured to receive the vehicle current and generate a first current in response to the vehicle current. Power outlets and/or data ports may be in electrical communication with the advanced master control unit, such that they can receive the first current. The system may also have a simple power supply that can receive the first current and convert this to a second current, which can be used to power in-flight entertainment devices and other components of the vehicle.
