With all that’s been happening in the world these past few years, we have been staying home a lot! Recently, it’s been feeling like we can maybe get back out there into the big wide open. But some forms of travel are still questionable. I know I’m not really liking the idea of being in a crowded airport or an oversold plane. But a long scenic drive to places unknown sounds like the perfect medicine to soothe my restless soul. Time to get the vehicle road trip ready!
Of course, that means a mechanical check-up—always safety first! But when the engine, tires, and systems all pass with flying colors, its time to add some, well, colors! Today’s low-voltage LED light options mean you can accessorize your ride in ways you never thought possible! Sure, you had string lights in your van 30 years ago, but did you know you can add multicolor LED strip lights to everything from your Mercedes to your motorhome? Strips can be installed in the foot wells, under the dashboard, or around the console. While you can go all out with wiring into the vehicles electrical system if you know your stuff, there are lots of kits that can simply be plugged into the cigarette lighter or USB port. Most LED strips have adhesive backing, making installation a breeze, but check out other available accessories for mounting.
Controlling your new vehicular LED light show can also be fun! Some kits are compatible with wireless remotes or even apps you can control from your phone. Change the color, dim the brightness, or even sync with your favorite tunes.
Don’t let the outside of your ride get jealous of its interior—you can also add a customized glow to its exterior. LED lights can be installed under the chassis or the bumpers. There are some states that have laws regarding non-standard vehicle lights, so be sure to check with your local law enforcement to avoid being cited. Important things to keep in mind when using LEDs on your vehicle’s exterior: do not use the colors red or blue and skip the flashing function all together. LED lights should be fun and harmless, enhancing the joy of the trip—not compromising anyone’s safety. Also keep in mind that the exterior LED lights should be waterproof and able to withstand the wear and tear of normal driving.
