The invention describes a lighting system apparatus intended to increase safety during operation of mainly large or lengthy vehicles and combination vehicles in darkness and poor visibility. The lighting system is comprised of a single or plurality of light sources designed for vehicular use and housed in a durable thermally conductive material having a lens through which light is projected. Said light source housings are attached to the vehicle whereby, when actuated by a controller, sufficient illumination is directed onto the specific areas on the vehicle(s) and ground surface peripheral to said vehicle or combination of vehicles at one or more areas along the sides and rear or trailing portions to the extent that the driver can more safely control said vehicle(s) because of increased visual cognition of the aforementioned areas via the rear-view mirrors. Persons proximate are also more aware of said vehicle(s) position and pathway by means of said illumination and can more readily avoid dangerous contact.
