Off-road vehicles can be quite a sight—with those rugged designs and large imposing tyres, these vehicles exude power and adventure. Even stock off-road vehicles look impressive but you can make them look even cooler with LED light strips!
LED strip lights are flexible, waterproof, and designed to be installed on all kinds of vehicles. They can give your off-road vehicle a unique and ethereal glow that will make you the talk of the off-roading circuit.
Most of the time, these lights are just used for show, but if you're creative, you can make them very practical too.
6 creative and functional ways to install LED strip lights
LED lights are not just for looks. Used the right way, they can be eye-catching and also practical.
Here are some great ways to use LED strips on your off-road vehicle:
Footwells
Install your LED strip light under the front of your off-road vehicle’s seats to cast a soft glow that beautifully lights up the footwells. Not only does this make your footwells look sophisticated, but extra illumination can also make it easy to find dropped items.
Dashboard
Place the LED strip lights under your dashboard to give it a nice ambient glow that can add a touch of class and also improve your instrument visibility. However, when installing the light strips, ensure they don’t interfere with any of your dashboard’s controls.
Wheel wells
To create a truly stunning effect while driving, install LED strip lights under your wheel wells to create a gorgeous glowing halo effect. Not only does this LED light placement look amazing, but it can also make it easier for you to inspect your wheels at night.
The boot
Install LED light strips around the edges of your vehicle’s cargo compartment to make the once plain-looking cargo space vivid and eye-catching. Also, the LED light will illuminate your cargo area, making it easier for you to find your tools or luggage in the dark.
Engine bay
If you love tinkering under the hood, you could try installing LED strips around the edges of your engine bay. The LED strips will not only make your engine bay look like something out of a science fiction movie but also make it easy to see what you’re working on.
Headlight accents
To give your vehicle more personality, install the strip lights around the outer edges of your vehicle’s headlights. This might be a simple modification, but it can look stunning during your nighttime escapades, without compromising the functionality of the headlights.
