Abstract

An auxiliary light (20) can be retracted when not in use and extended and illuminated to provide auxiliary lighting for a vehicle (10). In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary light (20) is rotatable for directing illumination through an arc of approximately 180°. In one embodiment, the auxiliary light (20) is mounted to an upper edge (14) of the driver's door (12) and can be extended and rotated for providing illumination outwardly from the vehicle (10) or to the interior of the vehicle (10). A push-push latch (42) is employed to extend and retract the auxiliary light (20) which includes electrical contacts (37, 38, 52, 54) forming a switch and contact ring allowing power to be supplied to the light source (35) contained therein when the auxiliary light (20) is extended and rotated for use. A bright white LED (70) may be employed as the illumination source.
