I use to sell and install the neons back in the 90's. LED's are just as arduous, but a lot brighter and easier on the cars electronics. Need to get me one of these sets.
Anyone following this installation guide please add the following precautions, use split loom on all wires to help protect them and for a cleaner factory look. Never, never, ever randomly probe wires in any car 2005 and up with a test light use a digital multimeter. If using 3M t-type wire taps use insulated connectors it actually insures the t-tap will not come open. Last but not least try to mount control boxes in the cabin area.
IMPORTANT TIP for longevity of the car. This applies to underbody LEDs and any other similar work. If you drill, file, sand, cut, or do whatever to your car that exposes bare metal, spray some paint or primer on that bare metal. A cars undercarriage is covered in paint/underbody protection to protect the metal from water, salt, and other substances that cause rust. Depending on your local climate, a small hole with bare metal edges will cause dramatic rust damage within a year or two.
I had to get creative getting this installed on my 2021 Kia K5. Modified the side clips to bolt into existing hardware. Have to figure out how to get the rear tube up higher. It is clearly visible and that's an easy ticket on the rear. But thank you for the great product and install videos. Had to order one extension wire. Right rear wheel well wire wouldn't reach.. otherwise thank you
In the kit is a red domed light? it plugs into the side of the controller for? I have the kit that has 2, 48", 2 36" and 2 24" if that helps, it also has a dist. block and the controller. the small wire and red dome elude me, as it doesn't appear to be a mic.
i am installing this kit on one of my customers cars tomorrow i will be sure to take video for your channel as well as mine,i do alot of car club cars and once 1 doez it they all do...
be VERY careful when drilling holes 1> DON'T drill into metal work, otherwise your gonna get rust, try another method 2> Make sure where your drilling is not going to drill into anything like existing cables or pipes

so i just got this kit and i have no idea how to run the wires also if i want the wires to run to the engine bay then why am i putting them on with the wires facing the rear
Hi Can anyone help me how to fix my lights i bought them 2months ago and now they won turn on the control box light flashes red how can I fix it pleasd
Just got the kit for trike wondering what the blue wire is for not mentioned in the installation instructions? Seems the controller is different than the instructions show doesn’t come apart? No zip ties Esther.
The blue wire is the brake light wire. IF you want the kit to turn solid red when you press the brake, connect that wire to a 12-volt brake light wire.
So I saw that the distributor cable only had 4 ports, how would that work if I was to buy the wheel well and grill upgrades? Would the upgrade come with a second distributor? Also the grill upgrade would add a 9th cord, how would I connect that to the system if the control box can only have 2 under body distributors and each distributor only has 4 ports each for only 8 total?
I'm looking for a new vehicle, and for some reason many of them are approximately the color of the road. I'm thinking of getting something like this, and some light strips, for more visibility even if I it does look like a 16 year old owns my car. Can you see me now?
The control box for this bluetooth kit is meant to be mounted in the engine bay so it is designed to withstand some heat. Just don't install it directly near the exhaust.
What is the importance of installing the tube with the power wire heading towards the back of the vehicle when you will have to double back with the same wire towards the front? Is that to alleviate having excessive wire?
What 12V source did you use exactly? I’m installing these and I’m worried if I connect it like you did it’ll keep dragging power from my battery. Could you help on how to exactly wire it?
It does not matter where you connect it, there will always be a slight draw on the battery. Not enough to worry about unless the vehicle is going to sit for an extended period of time. Meaning weeks or months, not a few days.
Yes, this kit is Bluetooth ready so it can be controlled using our mobile app. The kit also comes with a wireless remote if you chose to use that instead.
i have to pop my hood every time in order to turn the lights on bc my phone wont connect to the port from inside the car. is there a way around popping the hood every time
Once your phone has been paired, there should be no issues connecting to it whenever you open the LEDGlow app. Contact our customer support and describe the issue to them. They will have more questions about where exactly the control box is mounted.
How do I connect so when the car is turned off so will the lights.so this way doesn’t drain the battery if they ever got turned on by accident and not knowing.
For an Escalade you might want to consider this kit, it has 2 extra tubes...www.ledunderbody.com/million-color-truck-underbody-lighting-kit-smartphone-control/
Will a single color tube work with this control box? (i know that if it does it will only work static as a single color but will it light up with this kit?)
If you plug a single color tube into the multi-color control box, the tube will only light up when that specific color is selected. When any other color is selected, it will not light up.
Any kit will work except for the truck kits. You just need to decided if you want bluetooth capability and if you want a single color or multicolor kit.
Or you could just use a fuse tap aka "add-circuit" And use it in your fuse box in the front of the car, and add in additional fuse for your power wire, safe and simple
Instead of the mounting brackets could i used 15lb double sided tape? Don't want to drill into the car. Also my battery is in the trunk so would i run everything to the rear of my vehicle?
Yes, you could run the wires to the battery in the trunk. We do not recommend double-sided adhesive to mount the tubes as we cannot guarantee they will stay mounted on the vehicle.
The direction of the front and rear tubes does not matter. You just need to make sure the side tubes, the wire side is towards the rear of the vehicle.
The white wire from the control box gets connected to the dome light to enable the courtesy light feature. The kit will turn all white when a door is opened.
The same way as if it was under the hood. Just run the wires to the trunk instead of the engine bay. This is a different kit, but this install might help: czcams.com/video/xHQ1DK2zabc/video.html
Did you use the correct tube for the rear? We have a 2017 Mustang and the wire length was fine when running it from the rear tube to the engine bay. Double check how you routed the wire too, to see if you can free up any slack.
@@ledglow the long tubes go on the sides and the short ones go on the front and back? But idk was really short and I had to basically put it to the point to where all the lines connect but it’s far from the control box
LEDGlow another question, if you leave the control box on, does it kill the battery? I've noticed my car is getting harder to crank ever since I installed it
As long as the kit is turned off when the vehicle is off then the power draw on the battery is very minimal. Verify that everything was installed correctly.
Only took a week for the main lights setup to get here. Noticed I needed 2 more lights it took 14 days. Wtf let us pay for shipping but use the Post office....
Woaaaahhhhh what is that intro song?! And if someone wanted to Bug you and connect their phone to your control box would it knock your phone off? That would be a little frustrating.
The first phone to connect to the control box becomes the primary phone so no, if someone else tried to connect to the control box it will not kick the primary phone off.
The courtesy wire, when connected, will turn the kit completely white when the vehicle's doors are opened and then will either turn off or turn back to your previous color when the door is closed.
I purchased the wireless million color led underbody kit, but never installed it. I had to order 2, 24inch replacement tubes because the 36 inch tubes for the front and rear are too long.
Super old comment but, did you ever find a good installer in Tampa? I bought a mustang gt just north of Tampa that already had this installed but they are starting to fail. Thank you!
If the kit is turned off, the underbody will light up white when any of the vehicles doors are opened and then will turn back off when the door is shut. If the underbody kit is on, the kit will turn white when a door is opened and then will turn back to the color it was set too when the door is closed.
When enabled, it will turn the underbody kit on white when the door is opened. If the kit is already turned on to a different color it will change the color to white when the door is opened and will return to the previous color when the door is shut.

Each additional upgrade will come with a new junction box that will allow the new tubes to be connected to the existing kit.

What phone do you have?
Some colors are missing like white is mixed with everything they’re not solid colors anymore how do i fix this
Contact our customer support directly and they will be able to diagnose the issue.
So if the control box gets heated a bit it should be fine? I cant seem to find a spot in the engine bay were there isnt some heat
The control box for this bluetooth kit is meant to be mounted in the engine bay so it is designed to withstand some heat. Just don't install it directly near the exhaust.
You lost me at 6:25.

What is the importance of installing the tube with the power wire heading towards the back of the vehicle when you will have to double back with the same wire towards the front? Is that to alleviate having excessive wire?
The tubes need to be installed in specific directions for the patterns to work correctly.
So we have to tap into the dome light wire? Why? How's it going to get power when you are driving and the dome lights aren't on?
Tapping into the dome light wire is only necessary if you want the courtesy light feature to work.
@@ledglow thanks for the reply. I figured it out, but I had already commented. Thank you!
This is very cool. Very helpful👍
Can you put the led triangles from orical lights and the under glow on at the same time
What 12V source did you use exactly? I’m installing these and I’m worried if I connect it like you did it’ll keep dragging power from my battery. Could you help on how to exactly wire it?
It does not matter where you connect it, there will always be a slight draw on the battery. Not enough to worry about unless the vehicle is going to sit for an extended period of time. Meaning weeks or months, not a few days.
Amazing thanks for all your work
How can I prevent my frame from rusting after drilling?
Hit it with some spray paint after you drill your holes
How you gonna sell these with no way to connect them to the battery
Well were can I buy it and were?
This helped a lot.
hey i want to buy this i have a question though, so i don't have to drill into the cabin of my car this is all wireless to turn on and off???
Yes, this kit is Bluetooth ready so it can be controlled using our mobile app. The kit also comes with a wireless remote if you chose to use that instead.
i have to pop my hood every time in order to turn the lights on bc my phone wont connect to the port from inside the car. is there a way around popping the hood every time
Once your phone has been paired, there should be no issues connecting to it whenever you open the LEDGlow app. Contact our customer support and describe the issue to them. They will have more questions about where exactly the control box is mounted.
So can only one phone be connected to the box at one time? And does any other signal ever interfere with the box?
Yes - only one phone can be connected at a time. There shouldn't be any interference issues with this box.
This song is catchy
Thanks, we thought so too!
How do I connect so when the car is turned off so will the lights.so this way doesn’t drain the battery if they ever got turned on by accident and not knowing.
Connect the red wire from the control box to an ignition only power source and not directly to the battery.
I bought a car with the Led Glow already installed, however its white lights and I cant get the control to light that its on. How do I test it?
Contact our customer support directly and they will be able to walk you thru the testing process.
Just got these, looking forward to installing them. Do I need to do the courtesy light or can I cap it off?
Completely optional
Is this kit a good one for my 2002 Cadillac Escalade?
For an Escalade you might want to consider this kit, it has 2 extra tubes...www.ledunderbody.com/million-color-truck-underbody-lighting-kit-smartphone-control/
I like this
If I ordered these underbody lights along with interior lights, would I be able to have the underbody set to a different color from the interior?
Yes
Will a single color tube work with this control box? (i know that if it does it will only work static as a single color but will it light up with this kit?)
If you plug a single color tube into the multi-color control box, the tube will only light up when that specific color is selected. When any other color is selected, it will not light up.
If I buy it with the interior lights as well. Can I then turn on interior light on and off without the underglow being turned on?
Yes.
Why dont you show a charger? It's more complicated than a mustang. I'm having trouble with mine. Bars dont fit in right spot without hitting exhaust.
did you ever get it to work with your charger because i have a 2016 and i don’t want to get these if it won’t fit and look nice
@@CaptainBurt_ sorry that I'm super late. I eventually got it to fit on mine through trail and error.
Why do the wires on the side lights need to be on the backside when the wiring will be run to the engine bay?
So the chasing patterns display properly.
I’m thinking of buying underglow. I want it to be bright and noticeable, but also reliable. Are these good? Any recommendations?
The bluetooth kit is our top of the line kit. It will give you the brightest output with the most features.
What's the right kit for a suburban 2005?
Not sure you need the truck kit so you could go with the car kit and be fine.
The distributor box must be mounted in a safe and dry place. But let's face it, it does rain so if the box does get wet will it be ok??
As long as there is not an excessive amount of water reaching the box, then it should be fine.
Doesn’t the controller keep transmitting Bluetooth signal and drain the battery?
The battery draw when the kit is turned off is very minimal. It also depends on how you power the kit.
Is their a glowtube inside the bumper as well ? Or how do you make it light up in it
Yes, there is an add-on tube for the grill.
Which kit would you recommend for a Chevy Impala 2006. Of I figure it out I’m for sure buying and installing!
Any kit will work except for the truck kits. You just need to decided if you want bluetooth capability and if you want a single color or multicolor kit.
Question... In my Challenger the battery is in the trunk, will installation be hindered due to this?
No, you can still install the kit. You will have to put your control box in the trunk so the wires can reach the battery.
Or you could just use a fuse tap aka "add-circuit" And use it in your fuse box in the front of the car, and add in additional fuse for your power wire, safe and simple
Are they Legal in UK???
Is there a way to do this without drilling my car and putting screws
Yes, you can secure the tubes using zip ties.
I'm having a problem connecting it to my phone
Sorry for the delay, were you able to get this resolved?
Damn this looks so complicated, i have it right next to me and my 2018 challenger is gonna be a hastle to hook up. Any tips?
It's not that bad, just takes a little bit of time. Let us know if you have any questions during the installation process.
Tried doing my challenger too it’s a struggle
can the interior tubes work for the grille or is there a specific tube for it
There is a specific tube for that...bit.ly/3g9SePs
I've not messed with the electrinics how do i tell which circuit to use and where it goes in the box
Use a test light or multimeter.
LEDGlow so as long as it has power it doesnt matter which slot its in
Do the lights have a music mode? Can they change color based on the music?
You will need the add-on display module to enable music mode for this particular kit.
Instead of the mounting brackets could i used 15lb double sided tape? Don't want to drill into the car. Also my battery is in the trunk so would i run everything to the rear of my vehicle?
Yes, you could run the wires to the battery in the trunk. We do not recommend double-sided adhesive to mount the tubes as we cannot guarantee they will stay mounted on the vehicle.
@@ledglowliving in Arizona, the adhesive would absolutely fail when pavement temps reach up to 175 degrees in the summer.
Is there a way to connect them, that only work when you put in a Parking shift?
That's a tough one. You would have to connect the power wire to a fuse or wiring harness that only receives power when the vehicle is in park.
Is this legal in British Columbia, Canada?
Moaad H as long as your car is not moving
it’s legal if parked but not while you are driving
I prefer to pay somone to do this for me hhh..it's very complicated and am afraid to screw something up
Fady Serhan it’s really not that hard it’s pretty easy
Yeah it’s super easy, just lift your car and do everything he just showed.... I don’t think so, this looks like waaay too many steps
Does the direction of the front and rear strips matter?
The direction of the front and rear tubes does not matter. You just need to make sure the side tubes, the wire side is towards the rear of the vehicle.
I’m thinking of putting these on my mr2
Interested for my 2016 turbo Kia optima. Will this work.
Yes.
Why would you connect to the dome light? Wouldnt you want to connect to something that always has power going to it?
The white wire from the control box gets connected to the dome light to enable the courtesy light feature. The kit will turn all white when a door is opened.
@@ledglow I like that, niice

No is not is legal
it’s illegal almost everywhere unless on private property or parked
no, its legal. just not color red, white, or blue!
is illegal but if is park you fine just never use them while driving
Woaaaahhhhh what is that intro song?!
And if someone wanted to Bug you and connect their phone to your control box would it knock your phone off? That would be a little frustrating.

Just received my lights. No control box! No zip ties, which is prob but no remote!. Now what?
Did you purchase an LEDGlow branded kit?
What type of glove was that guy using?
They are just regular black shop gloves.
Do u have a kit that controls both interior as well as underglow?
Yes, the bluetooth kit featured in this video will do that as well as the standard million color underbody kit.
Can you put the power wires right on the battery?
Yes.
What is the courtesy wire for?
The courtesy wire, when connected, will turn the kit completely white when the vehicle's doors are opened and then will either turn off or turn back to your previous color when the door is closed.
Good question
Last year I installed LEDGlow interior lights in my Chevy Cruze, can I use this Bluetooth control box?
You would need to purchase this underbody kit to receive this Bluetooth controller. At the moment, the controller is not sold separately.
I purchased the wireless million color led underbody kit, but never installed it. I had to order 2, 24inch replacement tubes because the 36 inch tubes for the front and rear are too long.
Hey, Can you tell me if you have any store in Mexico or if you have somebody to install in Mexico?.
We ship to Mexico if ordered through our website otherwise, we do not have any actual stores in Mexico.
Wow bad ass! Is there a certified installer here in Tampa, FL?
Mr. Coolbreeze - Best Buy or auto customs shop
Super old comment but, did you ever find a good installer in Tampa? I bought a mustang gt just north of Tampa that already had this installed but they are starting to fail. Thank you!
question what is the courtesy light feature do on underglow?
If the kit is turned off, the underbody will light up white when any of the vehicles doors are opened and then will turn back off when the door is shut. If the underbody kit is on, the kit will turn white when a door is opened and then will turn back to the color it was set too when the door is closed.
@@ledglow Can you have the lights a colour when door is open, and then go off when the door is closed? Same above but not white, another colour?
Does it require you to use a relay or is the inline fuse enough
The inline fuse is enough for this kit.
LEDGlow thanks a lot what amount of amps do you recommend to use relays for
what is the white wire is for ? the one that is coming out from the distributor ?
That is for the courtesy light feature. It needs to be connected to the dome light.
@@ledglow i found out from the instruction book what is it for but i want to know latterly what does it do when you open and closing the door
When enabled, it will turn the underbody kit on white when the door is opened. If the kit is already turned on to a different color it will change the color to white when the door is opened and will return to the previous color when the door is shut.
What no one aint telling you about living on nuts if you have a warranty and you put any neon lights on a 2017 Mustang or any of the Mustang from Ford and the fuse Box gets messed up they're gonna say it's the neon lights and your insurance is not gonna tap it
