Can I Use Undercar Glow Lights While Driving?
Undercar glow lights add flair to any ride, but many drivers wonder if they’re legal on the road. At Wired Ridez, we explore when and how you can use them safely.
Understanding the Legal Guidelines
While undercar glow lights are legal to install and use in many areas, there are strict regulations regarding when and how they can be active while driving. Most states allow underglow lighting as long as the lights do not flash, rotate, or mimic emergency vehicle colors like red and blue. In some jurisdictions, it's illegal to have any lights illuminated under the vehicle while in motion, even if they’re white or amber. That’s why it’s essential to check your local laws before driving with underglow lights turned on.
At Wired Ridez, we stay informed on regional regulations to help customers make responsible choices. When we install your glow lights, Wired Ridez ensures all wiring includes easy-access switches or mobile app control, allowing you to deactivate the lights quickly when needed. Our goal is to help you enjoy your undercar glow safely and without legal complications.
Best Practices for On-Road Use
Even where it’s legal, responsible use of undercar glow lights is crucial for safety and respect for other drivers. Bright or flashing lights can be distracting on the road, especially at night. At Wired Ridez, we recommend using static, non-flashing colors like white or amber while driving—if permitted—and reserving vibrant colors or flashing patterns for parked or show use. Some customers opt for custom setups that automatically disable the lights above certain speeds, further ensuring compliance.
Wired Ridez customizes each lighting installation to align with your vision and local laws, helping you create a bold look without drawing unwanted attention. Our technicians also advise on how to use glow lighting at car meets, shows, or cruise nights where it’s celebrated. With guidance from Wired Ridez, you can elevate your vehicle’s appearance while keeping your driving safe, legal, and stylish.
