Type of review

Packaged VERY nicely. Each length of lights was rolled and packed in a anti-static bag. Cables are nice and thick and extra wire length is included (20gauge). I unrolled the lights and laid in the sun for a while to get the roll shape out of them.Installed inside the carpeted topper shell of my Toyota Tundra double cab. The length was perfect for the 5' bed of this truck, and the VHB tape that came on them was plenty strong to attach and grip the carpet. It is not marked 3M but it is doing a…

Pros
  • Accent & Off Road Lighting
Cons
  • Risk of malfunction and potentially causing electrical problems in your car

Bright lights! - my new review

The lights were easy to install. They come rolled up in a box. I unrolled them and placed them outside in the heat to get them to lay flat. If you don't, they want to coil up. The adhesive tape is very sticky and hold in place very well. I wish the pig tails were a bit longer. Other than that, I like the lights. They are bright and I like the on/off switch provided. Before you stick them in place, make sure the routing of the wires is long enough. Mine was just long enough. Had to route the…

Pros
  • ‎9.92 x 8.5 x 2.17 inches
Cons
  • Adds unnecessary complexity to your driving experience

BRIGHT & Consistent

Looked at a bunch of options before landing on these. As you can see from the photos, they are BRIGHT and consistent which is exactly what I was looking for. Notes:1) To be safe, I purchased very high bonding (VHB) double-sided tape, peeled the sticky on both and applied the VHB to this sticky stuff. Didn't want to risk the quality being low and needing to re-do it; well worth the extra few bucks, for the peace of mind.2) Quality seems good, my only qualm is the wires are 22 gauge. That's…

Pros
  • The underglow neon accent strip lights can enhance your safety while driving at night, making your car more visible to other drivers and reducing the risk of accidents
Cons
  • Unnecessary and expensive addition to your car with little to no practical functionality or value

30 min install in a Ford Maverick

The included harness was actually clunkey for how I installed it. Every truck owner uses their truck differently so I know my setup might not work for everyone.1. Maverick has a DIY harness connector in the bed so I utilized that2. I decided that I wanted to drop the lights so that they were more visible3. I decided that I did not want to go underneath my tailgate like most people will decide to do.4. I mounted the lights on (3) 48'" cable channels with velcrol and ran the harness wires inside…

Pros
  • The Music Mode option lets you choose a specific song or playlist and the lights will react accordingly, adding a new dimension to your music listening experience
Cons
  • Can be irritating to neighbors in residential areas

Underglow Strip Lights

decent lights . couple of things , when you get these you need to get them out of the box and stretch them out flat . they want to curl back up . I left these with the ends held down for a couple of days before I installed them . these came with zero instructions . your vehicle MUST be spotless for the lights to stick , if not use the screw clips or in my case , installing them on the pickup , I was able to drill holes and use zip ties . the wiring is pretty straight forward . easier to install

Pros
  • The strip lights are easy to install and have a flexible design that can fit on any car or truck, giving you endless possibilities for customization
Cons
  • The added lights can reduce your car's visibility to other drivers on the road

Nice waterproof LED bed lighting with a black backing

I chose this Nilight kit over some other cheaper options for a couple reasons. I wanted something that was waterproof and these LED light strips have a nice thick clear waterproof casing over them to keep moisture out and also help protect the LEDs.I also wanted something with a black backing so it would look as "invisible” as possible when they were not in use. Some YouTube videos used the cheap LED light strips that had a white backing and were not waterproof. They would stick out like a sore

Pros
  • The 252 LED Car Underglow Neon Accent Strip Lights upgrade your car's exterior appearance with a modern, stylish look
Cons
  • May give a negative impression to potential business partners or clients

Works as advertised but adhesive was second rate

Works as advertised as bright as shown but adhesive is no good at the ends of the strip needed a two part epoxy adhesive and clamps to secure in place. So far so good. Tapped hot lead into the trucks running light wire. Used that wire as I’m thinking I will only need lights when it’s dark out and head lights will be on thus powering running light lead. No reason for a constant hot as lights could be left on by accident and run battery down. JMHO of course

Pros
  • When you upgrade your car with the Nilight's 252 LED Car Underglow Neon Accent Strip Lights, you'll stand out from the crowd and turn heads wherever you go
Cons
  • Can be a distraction to children in the car

Decent lights for my opinion

Installed in about an hour. Make sure you wipe-down the surface with rubbing alcohol where the lights will be mounted.needs to be 100% clean! Very bright.almost painfully bright. Don't need to worry about waterproof-ness since they're mounted in my truck bed that has a topper. Would buy again.

Pros
  • You get the convenience of a Wireless Remote Control, allowing you to adjust the brightness, mode, and color of the lights without leaving your seat
Cons
  • Adding modification to your car can negatively impact your insurance premiums

Excellent for a backup light

I purchased these light strips to use in the bed of my pickup, but repurposed one as a backup light. A friend's place is pitch black at night and I have trouble seeing when backing up (camper shell gives me a view through three layers of tinted glass). The truck's OEM backup lights aren't enough with the backup camera. However, with this strip installed and tied into the OEM backup light wiring, it's perfect. Plenty of light to see by.

Pros
  • ‎1.85 pounds
Cons
  • Wireless remote may interfere with other electronics in the car

Look pretty good so far

The product seems to work like a charm but my only concern is wiring the switch. I wanted to mount the switch towards the tailgate, but due to the pigtails are gonna run towards the cab, I’m having to wing it. Still nice setup and I give it a 5 out of 4 stars ( 1 in 3 people have an issue with simple numbers lol)Update: I did wire it with the switch on the left side rear of tailgate. It works perfectly & allows for an outdoor light source when in the backyard around the burn pit. Depending on…

Pros
  • The lights are durable and waterproof, so you don't have to worry about rain or harsh weather damaging them
Cons
  • The lights can attract bugs or other unwanted insects to your car

Good deal! good for me

2019 RAM 1500 Classic Quad Cab.Nice product. Bright light. Adhesive side appeared to be high quality, possibly 3M, so hopefully they will stay in place. Plenty of wire to run across under truck bed. I had to extend the power wire up to the engine bat because i wanted to connect directly to battery. Wire provided probably wouldnt reach quite that far. If you were tapping to the taillight for power or ground, or by drivers footwell wire loom, there was enough wire provided.Only CON i found was…

Pros
  • Ultra Brightness LED: This car underglow strip lights adopt 252pcs SMD 5050 LED chips. 3 In 1 RGB Chips makes light output brighter and more uniform. Enhance the look of your car and enhance the feel of your driving experience.
Cons
  • May cause visual disturbances to nearby residents in residential areas

Overall very pleased especially at this price point. The light this puts out is very good.The challenge is if you have a full size pickup (and probably a compact one) you will need to cut off their special connector and reattach it to extend the wire to the passenger side. (or cut off both male and female connect and splice to wires going to thier switch). They give you the same amount of wire from the light strip (possibly four feet) for both sides. The wire won't reach from under rail at…

Pros
  • The strip lights emit bright and vibrant colors that are guaranteed to catch people's attention and create a unique visual experience
Cons
  • May give a negative impression to law enforcement, making it easier to be pulled over

Super bright! in my review

Not sure on the actual adhesive strength, because I don't rely on just the sticky stuff. Use it to hold it up while screwing the clips on. But they are the brightest LEDs yet and all are lit with out any being dead. For the cost it's really hard to find anything better.

Pros
  • Multiple Modes: The car underglow strip light kit has 8 static lighting modes, 2 preset Jump and 2 preset fading patterns, 4 sound active modes and even more for you to explore. Unique sound active modes enhance your driving satisfaction. Just turn on the music, the LED Chips will dance and flash with the music. Various modes can be switched at will, give you an amazing visual and auditory experience.
Cons
  • High risk of theft due to the visibility of the lights

Awesome underglow lights for my Ford Transit!

I decided to add some underglow lights to our DIY Ford Transit camper van for safety at night at campgrounds. In the photo, you see this light kit underneath the Transit. On the roof rack is the Nilight RGB IC set. Easy to install and use.Nilight is my "go to" when I need anything for vehicles or 12v wiring and gear.Always greta quality with my Nilight purchases.

Pros
  • Package Includes: 4 PCS LED light strips, Remote Controller, Control Box, Cigarette lighter plug, Fused Power Cable, Mounting Hardware(screws, clips and zip ties), Extension cord, 2 replacement fuse
Cons
  • Can be distracting and potentially dangerous when driving at night

Bright! High quality!

Super impressed from the unboxing thru installation and the results! Seems to be quality materials. I did deck lighting in my Gheenoe and ran it to the switch on my boat. For reference the before and after pics are in broad daylight with the garage light on. I ordered a 2nd set for under my truck bed rails which I'll wire to my OEM cargo lights. I couldn't be happier!

Pros
  • IP 68 Waterproof & Strong adhesive: IP68 waterproof, protect the LED strips to work well. In addition, strong adhesive and cable ties ensure stable installation. Even driving through lots of rain, highway speeds, potholes, the LED strips can still stay on and work great. Please clean down the dust, oil, and water before installing, the adsorption force will be stronger.
Cons
  • The brightness of the lights can cause eye strain or discomfort to passengers in the car

Pain to install! - my new review

The length of wire from the switch to the two sides is the same, so the ‘Y’ in the wiring is near the driveshaft in the middle of the undercarriage. This was super annoying and difficult to work with. There was only a letter of a couple inches of wiggle room and it took me forever! I had to use fishing line to get it through tight and weird spaces and I hated it. When it stops working I will definitely cut it out. Also, it should of came with some ‘C’ shaped channel brackets so that I could…

Pros
  • ‎LED
Cons
  • Excessive use of the lights can drain your car battery

Makes a big difference

Installed on a 2019 Chevy Colorado with good results. I like these because they have a switch and are more rigid than other similar products. I recommend laying them out and flattening with a board for a day or so prior to install because they maintain a curl from the packaging. Instructions are simple enough. The adhesive seems really good so I didn’t use the provided brackets/screws. Everything seems to be holding up nicelyI did not connect these to the factory bed light wiring behind the…

Pros
  • Lights & Lighting Accessories
Cons
  • If not installed correctly, the lights can prove to be a hazard on the road

(UPDATED) UNUSABLE PRODUCT!?

UPDATE: I received an email from Nilight. It appears that they did attempt to contact me promptly via email, but I never received it (not in SPAM, Deleted, etc.) I will update and change my rating if they resolve my issue before the return window closes. (Changed from 1 star to 3)They sent two different connection types. I have no way to connect the small plastic connector on one of the light strips to the barrel connectors on the main harness. I contacted Nilight through the support page on…

Pros
  • The Sound Active Function makes the lights move and change in sync with the beat of your music, creating an exciting and dynamic visual experience for you and your passengers
Cons
  • May violate local noise ordinances due to the music mode

Best value for the money

I installed these over the weekend - hardest part was having to run a power wire from the battery through the cab, under the bed and up to the rear tail-light. And that wasn't even that hard. Then I mounted the lights to the bottom of my utilitrack rails. Much of the light is aimed downward but there's enough reflection when it's dark out to light up the whole bed plenty. They come with plenty of wire, I had way too much extra on the driver side so I cut a good portion out, and ended up…

Pros
  • ‎Red, Black, Red, Green
Cons
  • Could be mistaken for emergency vehicle lighting, leading to confusion and potential accidents

Very Nice! Great Value!

I do not normally write reviews but I felt that this item deserved 5 stars and photos. I was very surprised to see the build quality of this product when it arrived. They are very bright, they have true 3M adhesive backing and are waterproof too! Be sure to clean the mounting area with alcohol before applying the strip lights. I am very impressed and I would definitely recommend it to others. 5 Stars!

Pros
  • ‎TR-105-A
Cons
  • Wireless remote control could become lost, leading to difficulty in controlling the lights
