Abstract
A wheel light device for a vehicle with an electrical battery, wheels, fenders and wheel wells that shines light onto and in front of one of each of the wheels of the vehicle. The device includes LED bulbs in a casing and a reflector that attaches to the bulbs to direct light onto the wheels of a vehicle. A waterseal canal, for draining any water and condensation that may accumulate within the wheel light device, and a waterproofing gasket, for sealing the device from any water reaching its components, protect the device from water. There are several different embodiments of the invention including an outer fender flare mounted embodiment with multiple LED bulbs, an inner fender mounted embodiment with multiple LED bulbs, provisions to address arched wheel wells or horizontally straight wheel wells, various safety light provisions in addition to additional supplemental features.
