I dont know but darn it, I am going to give it a try. A friend of mine did exactly that. Many smaller aircraft use regular automotive lamps, so I presume you mean REALLY BIG 28V landing lights. A second or larger 28V alternator and 28V battery is needed. Then you need a relay to turn the things on, since the switches you have won't do the job. When all this is hooked up...Boom! it's daylight. Oh yes, put a basket on the side of your truck for the tickets you will get. When my friend did this he finally got a letter from his draft board classifying him unfit for service in 1964, since he had dozens of tickets.

How would the bulbs shine in a series circiut?
An electric light bulb, incandescant type, is designed to operate at a certain voltage. Let's take 12 volt car headlights for example. Two 12 volt lights are connected in parallel in a car to provide the headlights, the same 2 lights could be connected in series if used on a truck with a 24 volt battery, or 20 of the lights could be connected in series if connected to a 240volt home electric circuit. (In the US think of 10 connected in series on your 110 volt system.) The lights would each produce about the same light output, but the number of lights would cause more light in total. In series there is a problem, when one light failsm they all go out. That's why lights in a house are connected in parallel.
How much does an aircraft engine weigh?
It weighs 120 tons more heavy than a truck
Instead of aircraft battery is 24 volt dc why aircraft use 28 volt dc?
An aircraft battery is usually 28 volts DC because the need for power is greater in an aircraft than in a diesel truck. Having the 4 extra volts is a type of insurance policy so that the battery does not go dead while the plane is in the air.
What simples machines are in a truck?
A lever Wheels and axles An inclined plane (when the truck dumps out its contents)
Could i hang from a power line?
Yes, that is exactly the way they service high-tension lines: they are deposited from helicopters, attach themselves directly to the power line and work from there! As long as they do not touch another line or anything that is "grounded" (connected to earth), they are fine, as they do not form a "circuit". ================================= Linemen are not 'deposited from helicopters'. They are lifted from the ground in the 'bucket' of a so-called 'cherry picker' truck, insulated from the ground by its tires. A ring of warning cones is placed around the truck, and man-carrying bucket is then attached to the line. At that point, the bucket, the man, and the truck are all at the voltage on the line. The man in the bucket may safely handle the line, and nobody has a problem unless he happens to be walking by on the ground and decides to catch hold of the truck.,
