Semi-Truck Under-Glow LED Light Kit

This Semi-Truck Under-Glow LED Light Kit is designed for semi-truck makes and models for which we do not already have a pre-configured light kit developed. We've made this product highly configurable to fit just about any style of semi-truck. Assuming the information on the wheelbase is accurate the light kit you'll receive will provide full perimeter under-glow lighting for your semi-truck. It is however impossible to provide a custom fit light kit without a) examining the bottom of your truck and b) getting precise measurements of the possible mounting locations of your truck in advance. For this reason you may need to adjust the mounting locations of some of the LED strips to fit your specific truck.

If your truck make and model is listed below, it means we already have a number of pre-configured LED light kits for your specific truck make and model; under-glow is just one of them. Use the links below to be redirected to the LED light kit we already have configured for your specific truck. It will be a better overall fit and will include installation materials and documentation specific to your truck. If your truck make and model is not listed below, use this product to order an under-glow LED light kit for your truck.

We have Pre-Configured LED Light Kits for these Truck Makes/Models. If your truck is listed here (stock wheelbase), use the link below:

• Freightliner Cascadia GEN1/GEN2
• Kenworth T680
• Kenworth W900
• Kenworth W990
• Mack Anthem
• Peterbilt 579
• Peterbilt 379/389
• Western Star 57x
• Volvo VNL GEN2 / GEN3

Has your truck's wheelbase been modified from the stock version? If your truck make/model is listed above AND the wheelbase of your truck has been lengthened by more than 12" from the stock version (e.g. Volvo VNL ARI Legacy Sleeper), use this product to order a custom under-glow LED light kit for your truck. The stock kit we have pre-configured will not fit your longer wheelbase truck.

This kit is offered in multi-color RGB, RGBA, Dual Color (your choice of 7 primary colors + amber) and single color (8 choices) configurations. With our GEN2 RGBx multi-color controller, you can set the color of your choice or pre-program a sequence of colors as well as single zone or dual zone strobbing and flashing capabilities. We offer complete customization capabilities too for those unique situations. Depending on the configuration, there are 9 or 10 product selections that need to be made. Refer to the following for details on each of the product options offered.

Manufacturer. Select your truck's manufacturer from the drop down list. Note that if we already have a pre-configured under-glow light kit for your truck make/model, you'll be directed to the PRODUCT FITMENT section on this page (the section above) where we provide direct links to the under-glow light kit for your specific truck make and model. If we do not have your truck's manufacturer listed, select the OTHER option. You'll be presented with an option to type in the Manufacturer Name.

Truck Model. Type your truck's model into the box where indicated. Examples: LT, 9900i, VNR600, 367, etc.

Year. Select the year of your truck from the available drop down list.

Wheelbase. Select the wheelbase (in inches) of your truck from the available range of options in the drop down box. These measurements are in inches. This is super important to be correct. Do not guess at the wheelbase measurement of your wrecker. We strongly suggest measuring it yourself before placing your order. Do not assume the number you were told is correct. Measure it. Scroll down to the next text group to see a diagram of how to take the wheelbase measurement for your truck. Did we mention it's important to get an accurate wheelbase measurement before placing your order?

Number of Axles. Select the number of axles your truck has from the drop down list.

LED Color Option. This option tells us what color format you want for your under-glow led light kit. There are two multi-color, seven dual-color and eight single color options. We have a detailed discussion about these LED color options further down on this product page. Be sure to read it. It's important. If you select any of the two multi-color options, you'll be presented with a couple of LED CONTROLLER selections (essential to operate RGBx LEDs). If you select any of the nine dual-color or eight single color options, you'll be presented with optional switching and control options.

Light Kit Configuration. This option is required. This selection tells us how you want to command and control your lighting system. Make your selections from the drop down box. You'll notice there are options for Single Color, Dual-Color and Multi-Color RGB/RGBx. There is a detailed discussion about all of these options further down on this product page (called 'Kit Configuration Options'). It's important to read it.

Add Wheel Well Lights. Optional. If you want to light up the wheel wells (steers only) of your truck, select yes from the drop down. The default is no.

Add Pre-Built LED Control Center. This product selection is optional and is only presented if you are ordering an LED CONTROLLER. These LED Control Centers make for a professional looking installation. Also makes the installation a little easier for DIYers since the controller wiring is neatly organized and easily identifiable. It's also a huge time saver. We offer a detailed discussion (with photo) about this option further down on this product page; so scroll down to read it.

Photos of these product configuration options can be viewed in the product image carousel of this product.

Single Color - No Switch. This is the default configuration. Just the single color light kits you select. No switching or battery connection wiring included. Assumes you are going to be wiring the lights into an existing 12vdc circuit with your own switch. Be sure to allocate additional amperage draw which depending upon the color, can be as much as 3.3 amps per 300 LEDs. In all cases we strongly suggest using a heavy duty 30 or 40 AMP automotive relay when wiring Boogey Lights to your existing system.

Single Color w/Push-Button ON/OFF, Relay and battery connection wiring. Includes the single color light kits you select PLUS a wired push-button on/off switch, relay and battery connection wiring. The push-button switch can be surface mounted or mounted through a 3/8" hole.

Single Color w/RF Wireless ON/OFF, Relay and battery connection wiring. Includes the single color light kits you select PLUS a wireless on/off RF remote control, relay and battery connection wiring.

Single Color w/RF Wireless ON/OFF, Flashing, Strobbing, DUAL ZONE LED controller. This controller is specifically designed for single color heavy duty truck applications. Offers on/off, dim, strob or flash for large numbers of single color LEDs and be able to do so on up to two lighting zones. For example zone one might be red LEDs and zone two amber LEDs. The options are endless. Each zone can be operated independently or together. In addition to ON/OFF control, STROBING and FLASHING, there's a STEADY-ON mode that offers dimming making it ideal for recreational vehicle applications as well. All of these features are operated using the included wireless RF handheld remote. Note too, you can also use this controller with Dual Color configurations. More details on this LED controller can be found on the Single Color Strobing Dual Zone Single Color LED Controller.

Dual Color - No switching or battery connection wiring included. Assumes you are going to be wiring the lights into an existing 12vdc circuit with your own switches. Be sure to allocate additional amperage draw which depending upon the color, can be as much as 3.3 amps per 300 LEDs. In all cases we strongly suggest using a heavy duty 30 or 40 AMP automotive relay when wiring Boogey Lights to your existing system.

More details about this LED controller can be found on the GEN2 Bluetooth + RF LED Controller product page as well as the CONTROLLERS navigation tab on this product page.

2) GEN2 Dual Zone RGB LED Controller. Max capacity of 3000 RGB LEDs (1500 per zone) and 1200 x LEDs (600 per zone). Bluetooth + RF wireless control. The dual zone LED controller allows you to setup two different lighting zones. The dual zone LED controller is recommended for customers who want to be able to segment the light kits into two different light zones. You can for example wire zone one to the Under-Glow and Rear Fairing Accent LEDs and zone two to the Under-Cab, Grill and Air Vent LEDs. Each zone can be operated independently OR together. Your choice. More details about this controller can be found on the GEN2 Dual Zone LED Controller product page as well as the CONTROLLERS navigation tab on this product page.

Integrate with an Existing Boogey Lights system. Select this configuration option if you already have an existing Boogey Lights multi-color RGB or Dual Color installation and are adding another light kit to your existing system.

The wheelbase measurement is the most important piece of data we need. If you get this wrong, your light kit will not fit properly. In our experience, lots of guys think they know the wheelbase of their truck but more often than not, the number they use has been passed down to them from the dealer or previous owner. Do not assume the wheelbase number you were given is accurate. We strongly urge customers to take an extra 10 minutes before ordering to take an accurate wheelbase measurement of their truck. Another option is to look on the inside door jamb of the drivers door for the manufacturer's specifications sticker. It will list the wheelbase there too. The other problem of course is that not everyone knows what the wheelbase measurement is which is why we created the below diagram. Note that while you can always do an online search for your wheelbase, be sure you know the exact type of cab you have. Various manufacturers use different names for the cab types. It's very easy to get confused on which cab type you have which is why we suggest taking the actual measurement yourself or look on the inside driver's side door jamb for the information. Do not skip this step. If you get this number wrong, your light kit will not fit properly.

Single colors are going to be brighter than RGB (multi-color) LEDs. The reason is that in an RGB LED there are three diodes: red, green and blue. The LED controller mixes those three colors to create other colors. For example, equal amounts of red + green + blue = white. In a single color LED, all three diodes are the same color. So in a single color white LED, there are three white LEDs which is much brighter than an RGB led mixed to show white. If you're looking for the absolute brightest color for your truck, go with single color. If however you want to be able to change the colors from time to time, go with RGB. Just be aware that the RGB version of isn't as bright as the single color version. The single color version is available in your choice of one of seven super-bright colors: Amber, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, White or Pink.

RGB / Multi-Color: For RGB led lighting an LED Controller is needed to operate the lights. The controller is what operates the lights and mixes the colors. In addition to providing a wireless on/off capability, the LED controllers offered allow you to control your lights with your Bluetooth 4.0 enabled smart phone and our free smart phone APP (Android and IOS) OR the included RF wireless remote. With the included RF remote you can change between 7 colors (white, red, blue, green, light blue, lime green, pink) and functions of on/off, blending, strobing, breathing, flashing, fading and dimming. You can also use your Bluetooth enabled smart phone to create that custom look with over 16 million different color combinations plus three pre-sets along with color rotation programming with either 2 or 3 color sets. There is significantly more detail on the BLUETOOTH APP navigation tab on this product page. Since our Dual Color products use the RGB chip on the RGBA led strip, it is considered a multi-color product even though you don't need an LED controller to operate.

NOTE: If purchasing RGB, be aware that an RGB LED cannot create the color orange. It can come close but not exact. Why? As mentioned previously, RGB leds have three color DIODES: RED, GREEN and BLUE. It's the mixing of these three colors together that create other colors. The color ORANGE is created by mixing RED + YELLOW. The color YELLOW is created by mixing RED + GREEN. With an RGB LED, there is only one RED diode so it can only be used once. To get something that looks more like orange to the human eye using RGB LEDs you need to mix equal amounts of RED + GREEN (actually just a bit less green since the human eye is more sensitive to green wavelengths). This will give you the color YELLOW. Then, increase the intensity of the RED just a little (or, pull back the green). This will essentially add a little red to the yellow to effectively mix a color that has an orange tint which is closer to AMBER. It's not perfect but it's as close as you can get to the color orange using RGB led lights.

The Quick Switch feature comes standard on our HEAVY DUTY SINGLE ZONE and HD DUAL ZONE LED Controllers (all RGBxx controllers).  Whatever color LED you have connected to the WHITE output wire on the controller is the color that will display when the Quick Switch is triggered with 12vdc +.  The most common use for this configuration is with commercial vehicles who want to be able to instantly turn off whatever color they're running and turn on a DOT compliant AMBER which is on our RGBA LED strips. For these installations, the yellow trigger wire is connected to a toggle switch or other wireless switch that activates the AMBER leds.   When the Quick Switch trigger wire is not energized, the LED controller operates the RGBxx diodes normally. NOTE: This Quick Switch feature eliminates the need to use a relay for RGBA LEDs.

If ordering RGB or RGBA, you have your choice of a SINGLE ZONE or DUAL ZONE GEN2 Heavy Duty LED Controller. As the name suggests, a SINGLE ZONE controller has one lighting zone. All LEDs wired to that zone display the same color and features. For DUAL ZONE, there are two distinct light zones. All LEDs wired to Zone 1 operate the same. All LEDs wired to Zone 2 operate the same. Each zone can be used independently or together.

We offer the option of pre-building the LED Control Center with your order. These LED Control Centers make for a professional looking installation. Also makes the installation a little easier for DIYers since the controller wiring is neatly organized and easily identifiable. It's also a huge time saver. Can easily save two hours (or more) when doing a typical installation.

The pre-built Control Center has the LED Controller and power connections mounted to a PVC board. The power connections make it simple to connect your battery power as well as the LED strip power leads via a terminal blocks mounted to the board. Simply strip the end of the battery lead cable and LED strip power leads, push them into the terminal block and tighten the screw. This design also makes trouble shooting easier. The board has four 2" stand offs with plexi-glass mounted on top which keeps the components protected. You can read more about this option on the LED CONTROL CENTER product page. We include some photos below. The LED Control Center option is only available when an LED Controller and/or relays are ordered.

RGBA is a new LED strip format Boogey Lights® developed. It is available in both our Low Profile and Heavy Duty LED strip formats. The RGBA led strip includes our core RGB tri-chip technology using a 5050 RGB LED with the addition of a fourth 2835 diode that is AMBER. Designed primarily for motor vehicle applications, that fourth AMBER diode can be wired to a separate switch on the dash (or tied into a relay to work with existing running lights) that allows you to quickly and easily turn on just the AMBER leds. Then, for those who want the flexibility to be able to display up to 16 million color combinations using the RGB tri-chip, they can do that too. RGB + A provides the best of both worlds. Single color amber plus RGB tri-chip multi-color. The product photo carousel of this product page includes a close-up view of the LED strip design and wiring diagram. Note that due to the addition of that fourth diode, the RGBA strips are a little wider than our standard tri-chip RGB and single color LED strips.  Also, the power lead wires use five conductor vs four. For additional information including product specs, click the SPECS navigation tab on this product page.

The Dual Color LED configuration uses our RGBA LED strip but instead of pairing that LED strip with an RGB LED controller (to mix up to 16 million different color combinations), we hard wire a combination of one, two or all three of the RGB diodes (red, green or blue) along with the AMBER diode to two on/off switches. One switch operates the primary color diode(s). The other switch operates the amber diode. There are a total of seven Dual Color configuration options: RED+AMBER, GREEN+AMBER, BLUE+AMBER, MAGENTA+AMBER, YELLOW+AMBER, CYAN+AMBER, WHITE+AMBER. With a Dual Color configuration you don't need an LED Controller. Instead, you only need two switches (and relays); one to control each color. The primary color is chosen from the available dual color drop down list. The secondary color is always amber. Note: The Dual Color options includes one ON-OFF-ON 3 way toggle switch and two, 30 amp relays.

Single color LEDs do not require an LED controller to operate. They do however require a switch of some kind (not included) somewhere in the circuit to turn them off/on. There are a number of ways to do this but regardless of how you decide to switch your single color LEDs, you need to be mindful of the amperage you're adding to your system. If you're considering adding these LEDs to an existing circuit (e.g. with your marker or running lights) we strongly suggest using a relay vs simply tapping into the existing circuit. This is especially important on newer trucks where the LCM will likely throw an error when you add more LEDs to the system due to the increased amperage draw. If you're looking for some single color switch options - including relays - here are several:

• Heavy Duty 30A Relay
• Wireless On/Off Remote Control
• On/Off Toggle Switch
• On/Off/On 3 Position Toggle Switch
• Simple Push-Button Switch
• Wireless On/Off/Dimming/Strobbing Remote

Note: Any auto parts store (or big box store) will offer a wide variety of 12vdc switches and relays. And, many trucks already have unused switches available on the dash. We offer the above as a convenience only.

The AMBER and RED single color LED strips are DOT COMPLIANT. They conform to applicable provisions of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 requirements.

No two installation scenarios are the same. Not everyone shares the same installation quality goals. Some folks are OK with twisting wires together, others want to solder them. Some folks are OK with running wires where they may be seen or unprotected to save money/time, others want a tidy, clean install without any wires showing. Some folks are OK with mounting their LED strips to whatever surface they can find, others want to take the time necessary to build out appropriate mounting surfaces to provide the best lighting effect on their vehicle. The point is it's not possible to provide all the materials necessary for all installation scenarios and quality goals. Our light kits provide the essential components needed for a high-quality, functioning lighting system. Installation of our light kit to your specific vehicle may however require additional items to make it look and fit the way you want. This is particularly the case with electrical wiring and mounting of LED strips. Before proceeding with your installation we suggest you consider THESE OTHER ITEMS.

In most cases AMBER is the only color that can be used when driving on public highways in the United States. This is one reason why our Multi-Color RGB kit is popular. It allows you to change the colors to fit the situation. For example, we've found white to be very helpful when parked for working around the truck at night. Also, the controller in our Multi-Color RGB kit allows you to setup presets for your color selections as well as features which include dimming, strobing, breathing and color blending. As an example, for maximum visibility in emergency situations such as when parked on the side the road, with the Multi-Color RGB option you can program the lights to flash red. Or, rotate through a sequence of red and amber.

For those who want the option to run RGB plus AMBER, select our RGBA led strip. In this configuration, you can wire the AMBER led chip to a simiple on/off switch (not included) while using the included RF + Bluetooth wireless LED controller to mix up to 16 million color combinations and presets.

Each kit includes 3M®primer. It's important the surface be prepared properly to make sure the LED strips stay stuck.
