Abstract
A wheel light mounting system includes a mount configured to hold a plurality of lights in a generally circular arrangement, and a bracket assembly having one or more brackets configured to secure the mount to one or more vehicle components adjacent to a wheel such that the lights are positioned behind the wheel. At least one bracket is removably coupled to another bracket to permit removal of the mount from the vehicle components. The bracket assembly attaches to vehicle components other than a brake dust shield, thereby providing a stable and serviceable structure for positioning wheel lights visible through the wheel.
Claims11
A wheel light mounting system, comprising:
- a mount configured to hold a plurality of lights in a generally circular arrangement;
- a bracket assembly having one or more brackets configured to secure the mount to one or more vehicle components adjacent to a wheel such that the plurality of lights are positioned behind the wheel;
- wherein at least one bracket of the one or more brackets is removably coupled to another at least one bracket of the one or more brackets to allow removal of the mount from the one or more vehicle components;
- wherein the one or more vehicle components are other than a brake dust shield;
- and
- wherein a vehicle component of the one or more vehicle components is a steering knuckle.
A wheel light mounting system, comprising:
- a ring-shaped mount configured to hold a plurality of lights in a generally circular arrangement;
- a bracket assembly having one or more brackets configured to secure the ring-shaped mount to one or more vehicle components adjacent to a wheel such that the plurality of lights are positioned behind the wheel;
- wherein at least one bracket of the one or more brackets is removably coupled to another at least one bracket of the one or more brackets to allow removal of the ring-shaped mount from the one or more vehicle components;
- wherein at least one bracket of the one or more brackets has one or more mounting holes that are configured to correspond to existing attachment points of the one or more vehicle components;
- wherein the one or more vehicle components are other than a brake dust shield;
- and
- wherein a vehicle component of the one or more vehicle components is a steering knuckle.
A wheel light mounting system, comprising:
- at least two wheel light mounts, each of the at least two wheel light mounts having:
- a ring-shaped mount configured to hold a plurality of lights in a generally circular arrangement;
- a bracket assembly having one or more brackets configured to secure the ring-shaped mount to one or more vehicle components adjacent to a wheel such that the plurality of lights are positioned behind the wheel, wherein at least one bracket of the one or more brackets is removably coupled to another at least one bracket of the one or more brackets to allow removal of the ring-shaped mount from the one or more vehicle components, and wherein at least one bracket of the one or more brackets has one or more mounting holes that are configured to correspond to existing attachment points of the one or more vehicle components;
- wherein a vehicle component of the one or more vehicle components of one wheel light mount of the at least two wheel light mounts is a steering knuckle;
- and
- wherein a vehicle component of the one or more vehicle components of a second wheel light mount of the at least two wheel light mounts is an axle hub.
