Cell phone charger service.
Power is provided from car battery at right side (connected by clamps). Bulbs are used as resistors to downcrease voltage from 12V to lower - proper to charging phone.

Cheers,

3G network transmitter. Cell phones must be within 1 meter due to the power available. Lights tell when the circuits are full. (I see my old Nokia there on the right still works just as good as it did when I had it....)
