A vehicle side light (VSL) that is secured to a side of a vehicle such as a car or truck to provide illumination to an area adjacent the side of the vehicle. The VSL has an attachment plate, a gasket, a heat sink, a power/light emitting diode (LED) board, a reflector, and a cover. At least one LED and preferably multiple LEDs, on the power/LED board provide the illumination. The reflectors has a metallic reflective front surface with outward extending members that create reflecting chambers. At the bottom of each chamber is an opening that allows a LED to illuminate outward to the chamber. The reflector's surface and reflecting chamber design the increase the LEDs illuminative strength. The cover is either a flat front surface with angled side sections, or a convex front surface. The VSL can also function as an auxiliary turn signal with red or yellow LEDs in the side sections. The USLVSL can also include a camera that interfaces with the vehicle's audio/navigation system. While the VSL can be used with may vehicles, the VSL is optimally designed to be secured to a four-door Jeep® vehicle, onto a lower area of a B-pillar, between the Jeep's front and rear doors. To facilitate the securement, the attachment plate has right and left angled sections, with angles of 55° which allows optimal placement on the B-pillar.
