An illuminated lug nut cover for installation on the lug nut of a vehicle wheel. The lug nut cover includes a body having a light source on a first end thereof and a recessed area on a second end thereof. The recessed area can be secured onto the lug nut of a vehicle so as to enclose the lug nut therein. The body may include a kinetic generator or solar panel for producing electricity sufficient to cause the light source to illuminate. The body may additionally include a battery that serves as the power source, or that is used to store electricity produced by the kinetic generator or solar panel. Thus, the present invention provides an illuminated lug nut cover for providing light on the wheels of a vehicle, such as a commercial vehicle, to improve the visibility thereof.
