Claim:
A tire changing system for use on a vehicle having a frame and four wheel wells formed above corresponding wheels, said tire changing system, comprising: a jack movable between lowered and raised configurations; an impact wrench configured to move said jack between said lowered and raised configurations when actuated; an air compressor; a storage tank in fluid communication with said air compressor and configured to store air under pressure; an elongate primary hose operatively coupled to said storage tank and configured for air flow, said primary hose extending along the frame of the vehicle and having a plurality of spaced apart outlet ports; wherein each outlet port is situated adjacent a respective wheel well and includes a length sufficient to extend into a wheel well area defined by the respective wheel well; a secondary hose having a first end selectively coupled to a respective outlet port and a second end selectively coupled to said impact wrench such that said impact wrench selectively receives air flow from said storage tank when said secondary hose is coupled to said respective outlet port; a lighting device including: a housing; a battery; a light element electrically connected to said battery and configured to emit light from said housing when energized by said battery; a magnet attached to said housing and configured to releasably couple said housing to a metal object when positioned thereon; wherein: said air compressor is electrically connected to a transmitter; said air compressor having circuitry configured to cause said transmitter to transmit an activation signal when said air compressor is actuated; said lighting device is electrically connected to a receiver; and said lighting device includes circuitry configured to enable said battery to energize said light element when said receiver receives said activation signal.
