Abstract
An universal, selectively, attachable auxiliary vehicle lighting system is provided designed to be selectively attached to the front or rear of a vehicle, a trailer, a carrier attached to the vehicle, or to an object attached to the vehicle, trailer, or carrier, such as a ladder, a boat, or a bicycle, respectively. The lighting system includes a pair of separately attachable light assemblies each having a rigid mounting bracket and a light unit which may be electrically connected to the vehicle's lighting circuit. The mounting bracket has ear structures which extend laterally from each vertical side. In one embodiment each ear structure has a centrally located hole which engages with a wrapping member to attach each light assembly to different surfaces or objects. An optional bar extension is also provided which enables a pair of light assemblies to be structurally interconnected during use.
