A safety lighting system is connected to a hazard flasher or blinker system of a vehicle, such as a semi-tractor trailer. The system comprises an electrical circuitry for connecting the safety lighting system to the hazard flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals for activation of the safety lighting system when the flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals are activated. An LED is mounted in a trapezoidal shaped hood of a housing assembly and its illumination is reflected by a reflective inner surface of the hood and directed towards the wheel assemblies of the vehicle to provide adequate lighting around the area surrounding the wheel assemblies. A mounting frame assembly supports the housing assembly and LED for their positioning underneath the vehicle and attachment near the wheel assemblies. In a further embodiment, bolts may be used to attach the housing assembly and LED to the vehicle near the wheels.
