A selectively-illuminable lug nut assembly includes a lug nut body portion and an illumination subassembly housed within a containment portion at an upper end of the lug nut body. The lug nut main body portion may have a multi-faceted exterior and a threaded aperture extending into a lower end for threading engagement with a threaded vehicle wheel stud. At an upper end, the lug nut body defines a containment portion for housing the illumination subassembly. The assembly may incorporate a light and/or motion sensor for automatically biasing the assembly between ON and OFF states. Furthermore, a printed circuit board having LEDs mounted thereon may be in communication with a remote control device enabling a user to selectively bias the assembly between the ON and OFF states.
