Abstract

A vehicle light system. The vehicle light system includes a front assembly having a plurality of lights and a first camera that is securable to a front end of a vehicle, and a rear assembly having a plurality of lights and a second camera that is securable to the rear end of the vehicle. A display operatively connected to the first camera and second camera is disposed within the vehicle interior. A control also disposed within the interior is operatively connected to the front assembly lights, the rear assembly lights, the first camera, the second camera, and the display. The lights improve the lighting of the surrounding area, thus decreasing the number of roadside incidents and increase the public awareness of the police vehicle, while the camera provides additional visibility to the vehicle operator.

Claims
