Pickup Truck LED Light Kit

We've made this product highly configurable to fit just about any style of pickup truck. Assuming the information on the wheelbase and body style is accurate the light kit you'll receive will provide full perimeter under-glow lighting for your pickup 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. In addition, if your truck has running boards you may want to use those running boards as a mounting location for the side under-glow light strips instead of the body. Those running boards often have less room to mount the LED strips. For this reason you may need to trim some of the LED strips to fit your specific truck. We include instructions with each kit how to do this as well as the heat shrink necessary to properly seal any strips that need to be cut. To minimize the cutting of LED strips, we generally provide a larger quantity of shorter LED strips that can be mounted on just about any flat surface making it easier to install. Each light kit has it's own CUT SHEET included which details the layout for your specific truck.

For many under-glow installations we do here at BOOGEY HQ, we have to install plastic or aluminum flat stock in some locations on the bottom of the truck. This is because the LED strip needs to be mounted on a flat, single contiguous mounting surface and in a straight line (the led strip cannot bend around corners or be bent on a horizontal plane). Also, the entire strip must be stuck to the mounting surface and not span across mounting surfaces. If you don't have a smooth, flat, contiguous mounting surface we suggest riveting or screwing 1.5" wide plastic or aluminum flat stock to the surface and then mount the LED strip to that flat stock. While we offer both aluminum and plastic flat stock for sale here on our website, you can usually purchase similiar material locally for less.

• LED COLOR OPTIONS. Offered in three Multi-Color RGB versions, seven Dual Color versions and eight Single Color configurations. For the multi-color configurations you'll need a multi-color LED controller which we offer two versions. Single zone and dual zone. . With our GEN2 RGBx Single or Dual Zone 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. There's both a wireless RF remote control and a free Bluetooth APP which runs on your Android or Apple smartphone. For the Dual Color and Single Color configurations, we offer several switching and control options -- wired and wireless. Details below on these LED controller, switching and control options.
• FULL PERIMETER UNDER-GLOW. The core light kit is our full-perimeter under-glow LED light kit. The LED strips in this kit are designed to be mounted to the bottom of all four sides of the truck (both sides, rear and under the front bumper). By default we use our LOW PROFILE LED strip product for the under-glow component however if you take your truck off-road much, you might want to upgrade to our HEAVY DUTY LED strips. While our standard LOW PROFILE LED STRIPS we use for are built tough, they typically won't withstand a direct strike from a flying rocks often associated with off-road driving. You can upgrade these under-glow LED strips to our HEAVY DUTY LED STRIPS which is our commercial grade lighting product we install on semi-trucks, tow trucks, dump trucks, side-by-sides, atvs, etc. They have an additional layer of protection which better protects them from a direct strike.
• Optional Wheel Well Lights. We offer wheel well lights as an optional add-on to our under-glow kit. We use our Heavy Duty LED strips for the LED strips mounted in the wheel wells due to their close proximity to the tires of the truck.
• Optional Grill Lights. We offer grill lights as an optional add-on to this under-glow kit. The grill lights use our low profile LED strips which are designed to be mounted behind the grill. We include three LED strips for this purpose. Our LED grill lights may need to be cut to make them fit your truck. Our installation instructions include details on how to do this. We assume the grill lights will be wired into and operated by the same switching device that you use to control the under-glow lights.
• Optional Truck Bed Lights. We offer truck bed lights as an optional add-on to this under-glow kit. This add-on includes two additional Low Profile LED light strips which are designed to mount underneath the truck bed side rails on each side of the truck bed. If you select this option you'll be prompted to select a color. The default is white but you can override that default. You'll also be prompted to select a switching mechanism. See below for more information on these options.
• All Boogey Lights LED products are 12vdc power designed to be used on motor vehicles sold in North America.
• Boogey Lights® LED strips attach to the mounting surface with 3M® double-sided VHB tape already applied to the back of each strip. 3M Adhesion Primer IS INCLUDED with this kit and MUST be used when mounting these strips if you want them to stay stuck. In most cases you can install the LED strip directly to the bottom of the truck HOWEVER there may be some cases where you will need to install some 1.5" aluminum or plastic flat bar first and then mount the LED strip to that flat bar. The reason is that these LED strips need a smooth, straight and flat surface to mount to. The strips cannot bend, curve around or traverse gaps or multiple mounting surfaces. We include installation details on this product page (click the INSTALL navigation tab).
• One year original owner warranty against manufacturing defects.

This kit is offered in multi-color RGB, RGBA, RGBW, 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. Below is an overview of all product options offered.

BRAND: Select the BRAND of your Pickup Truck from the available drop down options. If your brand doesn't appear in the list, select OTHER and you'll be prompted to type in your truck's brand.

MODEL: Select the MODEL of your Pickup Truck from the available drop down options. If your truck's model namedoesn't appear in the list, select OTHER and you'll be prompted to type in your truck's model.

YEAR: Select the MODEL YEAR of your Pickup Truck from the available drop down options.

WHEELBASE (in inches): Select the wheelbase (in inches) of your pickup 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 truck. We strongly suggest either measuring it yourself OR looking at the information printed on driver's side door jamb where the WHEELBASE (WB) will be printed. We know too the temptation will be there to do an online search for the wheelbase of your specific truck. Don't. Why? Because the online wheelbase measurements you'll find require you to know the type of cab you have (e.g. standard, extended, crew, super crew, extended crew, etc.) Different manufacturers use different names for the cab configuration and it's easy to get confused. Because the wheelbase measurement is critical for the correct fit of your light kit, we suggest taking the measurement yourself (or looking on the driver's side door jamb).

LED COLOR OPTIONS: This option tells us what color format you want for your truck under-glow led light kit. There are three 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 three 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.

CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION: This option is required for any RGB, RGBA or RGBW color selection. In addition there are options for both single color and dual-color LED selections. There is a detailed discussion about these options further down on this product page. It's important to read it.

UPGRADE TO HEAVY DUTY LEDS: The default configuration for this product is built on our popular high performance LOW PROFILE LED LIGHT STRIPS. They are the primary light strip we use for light kits mounted on vehicles that are driven on public roads and highway. If you take your truck off-road, we suggest upgrading to the optional Heavy Duty LED strip upgrade offered on this product page. Our HEAVY DUTY LED STRIPS are designed to be used in tough outdoor or off-road use where the light strip might be subject to direct impact from rocks or heavy road debris. The flexible PVC on these Heavy Duty LED strips provides an extra, dual layer of protection above and beyond our already tough LOW PROFILE LED light strips.

WHEEL WELL LIGHTS: If you want to light up the wheel wells of your truck, select yes from the drop down. The default is no.

GRILL LIGHTS: Do you want to light up your truck's grill? If so, select yes from the drop down. The default is no.

BED LIGHTS: Do you want to light up your truck's bed? If so, select yes from the drop down. The default is no. If you answer yes, you'll be presented with two additional options. One is for the length of your truck bed. The default length is 5.5' (short bed). The other is the LED color. The default LED color is white. You'll also be presented with a list of Bed Light switching devices. Note that the bed light kit is a separate kit from the Under-Glow. It is designed to be a stand alone light kit just for the bed of the truck. It operates independently from the Under-Glow kit. If for example you order the RGB multi-color version of the bed light kit, you'll receive a separate LED controller just for the bed lights.

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.

This product offers seven different Controller Configuration options. Below is a review of each option.

No Switch Mechanism. Provide Your Own.: This option is available on all single color and dual-color LED light selections. It's not an option for RGBx LED color options. Select this option if you have your own switching mechanism. NOTE: We strongly suggest using a relay. These lights are bright and as such, pull more amperage than a typical LED light (see specs tab for details).

Single Color On/Off with relay (hard wired): This option is available for any single color selection. It's a simple on/off switch with relay.

Single Color On/Off with relay (wireless): This option is available for any single color selection. It's a simple on/off wireless switch with relay. Includes two keyfobs with a simple on and off button. See photo in product photo carousel.

Single Color Flasher (+ Strobing + Solid On) with Dual Zone control:  This is a dual zone flasher controller that offers three modes for single color lights: solid on, 3 burst flash and strobing. Both the flashing and strobing modes have 5 different speed settings. There's also 5 brightness levels. It's controlled by a hand held RF wireless remote (see photo in the photo carousel above). Because it's a dual zone controller, each zone can be operated individually (e.g. zone 1 = red, zone 2 = amber) or they can be operated together. This flasher controller includes our 'Quick Switch' feature that allows you to wire in a toggle switch (e.g. on the dash) to turn the lights on (or off) in the last used settings. This Quick Switch feature is zone specific. This flasher will work with both single color and dual-color LEDs. Scroll down for details on this controller option.

Dual Color On/Off/On with relay (hard wired): This option is available for any dual color selection. It's a simple three position on/off/on switch with relay. For example, UP = Amber. Down = Red. Middle postion = Off.

Dual Color Flasher (+ Strobing + Solid On) with Dual Zone control: This is a dual zone flasher controller that offers three modes for dual color lights: solid on, 3 burst flash and strobing. Both the flashing and strobing modes have 5 different speed settings. There's also 5 brightness levels. It's controlled by a hand held RF wireless remote (see photo in the photo carousel above). Because it's a dual zone controller, each zone can be operated individually (e.g. zone 1 = red, zone 2 = amber) or they can be operated together. This flasher controller includes our 'Quick Switch' feature that allows you to wire in a toggle switch (e.g. on the dash) to turn the lights on (or off) in the last used settings. This Quick Switch feature is zone specific. This flasher will work with both single color and dual-color LEDs. Scroll down for details on this controller option.

Multi-Color RGBx Single Zone and Dual Zone: For the two multi-color LED options, this kit offers both SINGLE ZONE and DUAL ZONE controller options. As the names suggest, a Single Zone controller has just one single lighting zone. All LEDs wired to the controller are on one zone. Whatever color or feature set you apply will be what you get on all leds. Pretty simple. With our Dual Zone controller, you can set up and operate two distinct lighting zones which can be operated and controlled individually or together. On a Dual Zone controller each lighting zone is capable of supporting up to 1500 LEDs for a total of 3000 LEDs. It will work with your Android® or iOS® Smart phone. It will also work with the included M7 Style RF wireless remote. Scroll down for details on this controller option.

GEN2 LED CONTROLLERS: RF + Bluetooth Combo Wireless Control

The LED Controllers offered in this kit are our GEN2 Single Zone and Dual Zone Heavy Duty Bluetooth COMBO LED Controllers. COMBO means they can be operated using either the included M7 RF wireless hand held remote OR your Bluetooth enable smart phone (and our free APP). Both will work. The RGB version is capable of displaying 16 million different color combinations. The GEN2 RGBx version can display even more color combinations depending on the type of LED strips connected to them. In addition, lighting effects on the Bluetooth controller are significantly more controllable in terms of speed and intensity. Each color and lighting effect is controlled by "sliders" or a color square on your smart phone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting the way you want it.

SINGLE COLOR Strobing / Flashing Dual Zone LED Controller

Designed primarily for commercial, working truck applications this heavy duty LED controller is ideal for situations where you need to strob or flash large numbers of single color LEDs. A typical scenario is with wide load truck haulers, wreckers and tow trucks. The unique dual zone capability allows the lights to be segregated into two distinct lighting zones. For example zone one might be red LEDs and zone two amber LEDs. Another option could be to assign the two zones into LEDs mounted on different parts of the truck (underglow = white, grill lighting = amber). 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.

Each zone will support up to 1500 tri-chip 5050 LEDs which means a total of 3000 tri-chip LEDs on a single LED controller. The operating modes include strobing, 3 burst flash and solid on. The speed can be adjusted and there's a brightness setting too. All of these features are operated using the included wireless RF hand held remote. This controller includes our Quick-Switch feature which when paired with a simple on/off switch will allow the controller to be turned on/off via a hard wired switch (mounted on the dash for example) as well.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Heavy Duty, Dual Zone, Single Color LED controller. Will work with single color LEDs. Each zone has one 12v+ and one 12v- output.

This light kit is offered in eight single color options, seven dual-color options and in two multi-color configurations. Detail are as follows:

SINGLE COLOR: Each single color LED chip has 3 diodes inside which means single color LEDs are the brightest available since all three diodes are the same color. The AMBER Single Color LED chip is DOT compliant. The available single color LEDs are: red, green, blue, amber, orange, white (3 different color temps), pink and magenta (hot purple).

DUAL COLOR: The Dual Color LED configuration uses our RGBA LED strip where the primary color can be one of 7 different colors and the secondary color is always amber. 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 a 3 position switch (or two switches) - and relays; one to control each color. The primary color is chosen from the available LED dual color drop down list. The secondary color is always amber.

MULTI COLOR RGB, RGBA or RGBW: The multi-color RGB LED version provides over 16 million color combinations using the Boogey Lights LED Controller. The RGBA version offers the same color combinations as RGB except there is an additional diode in the chip which is AMBER. The multi-color RGB, RGBA and RGBW kits include our GEN2 Heavy Duty combo Bluetooth + RF controller so you can control the lights with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone or the included wireless RF G2 M7 remote control. See details about this controller in the above CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION section.

Color temperature is a method of describing the color characteristics - warmth or coolness - of a white light source. Commonly referred to as the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), it's a gauge of how yellow or blue a white light source appears to the human eye. The spectrum of color temperature is assigned a numerical value, measured in degrees of Kelvin (K), on a scale of 1,000 to 10,000. Most Kelvin temperatures for modern lighting applications however fall somewhere on a scale of 2000K to 6500K. The color temperature of a light source lets us know what the look and feel of the light produced will be.

We offer three different Kelvin temperatures of WHITE as follows: COOL WHITE (6000K), SOFT WHITE (2400K) and NATURAL WHITE (4000K).

Cool White (aka Bright White) is the most popular and is by default what we ship the most. It's also the color of white that is created with RGB LEDs (mixing equal parts red + green + blue = cool white). It's excellent for functional lighting and is used the world over in offices, public places, warehouses and the like.

Soft White (aka Warm White or Candle White) is the second most popular since it provides a nice contrast to the Cool White. It's on the opposite end of the Kelvin scale with a 2400K temp. Soft White has a yellowish tint to it making it softer; easier on the eyes - not nearly as bright as Cool White though. It's great for creating ambiance but not functional lighting. You'll notice we offer an RGBW product that includes RGB + one diode of this soft white color which provides both Cool White and Soft White options (along with RGB of course). It's our most popular Multi-Color LED strip for this reason.

Lastly, we offer a Natural White (aka Neutral White) which has a Kelvin temp of 4000. This shade of white is middle of the road - half way between Soft White and Cool White. We offer it in a single color only. See below images to help demonstrate the differences.

The Quick Switch feature comes standard on our HEAVY DUTY SINGLE ZONE and HD DUAL ZONE LED Controllers (all RGBx controllers).  It also comes standard on our SINGLE COLOR DUAL ZONE STROBING CONTROLLER. 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 RGBx diodes normally.

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.

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.

RGBW is a new LED strip format Boogey Lights® developed. It is available in both our Low Profile and Heavy Duty LED strip formats. The RGBW led strip includes our core RGB tri-chip technology using a 5050 RGB LED with the addition of a fourth 2835 diode that is WARM WHITE with a 2400 kelvin temperature. This Warm White LED chip provides a softer color white that is commonly referred to as a 'candle white' or 'soft white'. 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 + W provides the best of both worlds. Single color warm white 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 RGBW 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 somewhere in the circuit to turn them off/on. We offer a number of options in this kit for switching single color LEDs. 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.
