A vehicle includes at least one hose extending from the vehicle and configured to extend below ground through a manhole, and a light system. The light system includes a storage member, such as a retractable reel, coupled to the vehicle, a flexible line wrapped at least partially around the storage member, and a light source coupled to the flexible line. The storage member is adapted to selectively extend and retract the light source together with the hose below ground, and the light source is storable on the vehicle adjacent the storage member. The light source has a self-contained power source. In some systems, the flexible line and/or the light source are removable from the vehicle so they can be moved to a remote location from the vehicle.
