Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I am a beginner to photography using a Nikon D60 with an 18-55mm lens. My question is I am going to a Christmas Light Show this evening and I want to take some pictures from a very slow moving car. So my question is what should all the important settings be in order to get clear pictures of the lights while it's dark outside. Still learning ISO, aperture, and shutter speed while trying to break away from the dreaded "auto" mode. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Timing is key here. You want to go during the blue hour to get proper exposures. Also you will have to do this from a stationary position and not a moving vehicle for the best quality.
