Abstract: A vehicle mountable safety light system includes a vehicle with a hitch receiver. A hitch bar is removably extended into the hitch receiver and a post extends upwardly from the hitch bar. A tube with open first and second ends is mounted on the post. A housing is mounted within the tube and is positionable in a stored position within the tube, a left deployed position extending outwardly of the first end of the tube or in a right deployed position extending outwardly of the second end of the tube. The housing has a rearward surface facing away from the vehicle. A plurality of light emitters is mounted in the housing and emits light outwardly of the rearward surface when the light emitters are turned on. The light emitters are spaced along a length of the housing and are turned on when the housing is moved outwardly of the tube.
