A wheel lighting apparatus is provided for use on a vehicle wheel rotatably mounted on a vehicle body. The wheel lighting apparatus includes a chamber mounted to the wheel with a portion of the chamber formed from material which contains the transmission of light therethrough. A light source is positioned in the chamber. A light transmitting member is provided for transmitting light from the light source to outside the chamber. The light transmitting member has a light receiving surface forming a portion of the chamber and is exposed to light from the light source. The light transmitting member also has a light conducting portion and a light emitting surface. The light received by the light receiving surface travels through the light conducting portion to the light emitting surface where the light is emitted in a predetermined pattern adjacent the wheel. An electrical connector device is provided to connect a power source mounted on the vehicle body to the light source. The electrical connector device includes a pair of circular rings of electrically conductive material mounted to the wheel and electrically insulated therefrom. The electrical connector device also includes a pair of contactors mounted to the body, each having an electrically conductive movable contact portion in electrical contact with their respective circular rings. A pair of electrical conductors are provided for electrically connecting the terminals of the power source to the light source through the flexible contact portion of flexible connectors and their respective rings.
