Abstract
The present invention relates to a full functioning safety light bar and signal assembly. A light system that utilizes a wiring harness assembly is further equipped with one or more of the following lights: driving, brake/signal, flasher/emergency, reverse, marker, strobe, fog or illuminating lights. Electric sensors in the body of the light bar unit control strobe and illuminating lights. The device compliments a vehicle by matching the various sizes, width and depth of their bumpers. Extension bars with the light fixture assembly can be attached to the light bar units to add greater illumination upon backing up and collars or strips of friction reducing materials are attached on the hitch components, e.g., such as the exterior of the male tongue insert and the interior cavities of the male tongue insert helping to limit vibration or noise. Locked protective covers keep the lights or lens in the light bar units from becoming scratched or damaged. Further, the ability to store an extra set of keys in a lockable security compartment is another safety feature provided with the safety light bar.
