Abstract
The present invention discloses a unique lighting structure for use on vehicles, in which concealable lights are incorporated into a luggage rack on the roof of a vehicle. The lights rotate between concealed and use positions. In the concealed position a portion of the light housing is aligned with a portion of the luggage rack housing such that the luggage rack may be used normally. In the use position, a bulb faces longitudinally forwardly of the vehicle, and is positioned vertically above the remainder of the luggage rack such that a light is directed from the roof of the vehicle.
