Underglow lighting gives your truck a striking appearance. Here’s how to do it correctly and legally.
Are Underglow Lights Legal?
Underglow lighting laws vary by state. General rules:
- Red and blue lights are illegal on public roads in all states (restricted to emergency vehicles)
- White underglow is illegal in most states when visible from the front (mimics headlights)
- Amber/yellow is the safest color for public road use in most states
- Off-road/show use only — RGB kits are fine for shows, events, and off-road use
Always check your specific state laws before using underglow on public roads.
Best Underglow Options:
1. Nilight RGB Rock Light Kit (Show/Off-Road)
The Nilight RGB Rock Lights 10-Pod doubles as an underglow kit. Mount pods along the rocker panels and frame for full underglow effect. App-controlled with music sync.
2. AMBOTHER LED Strip Kit (Show Only)

Installation Tips:
- Mount pods/strips on the inside of the frame rail, not on the bottom
- Route all wiring away from exhaust heat
- Use a dedicated circuit with proper fusing
- Choose app-controlled kits for easy switching between show and road modes
