What Is Car Underglow Lighting?
Car underglow lighting is an exterior lighting upgrade that casts coloured or white light onto the ground beneath the vehicle. Pods and strips can be positioned around the front, sides, rear or selected underbody areas to create a balanced lighting effect after sunset.
Underglow systems can range from a simple white accent to RGB colour control, RGB-W lighting with a dedicated white chip and animated chasing effects. A professional setup should be cleanly mounted, evenly positioned and configured to avoid obvious dark zones under the vehicle.
