How to Install Underglow! (EASY!!) 

A lot of car things are way simpler than people think they are, you just have to visualize what you are doing and it becomes do-able. Thanks so much for the support and kind words!

I agree with you

Was a perfect put together video thank u sir again

Thanks I really appreciate that! If you have any questions let me know!

Who turned off the lights dude

Thanks for the support, I’m glad I could help!

It’s easier than you think, you got this!

Thank you! Glad it helped you, I try to be pretty detailed in my videos if I can

Glad I could help!

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate the support!

Awesome, hope you enjoy it!

Thank you!

Awesome! Yeah the app is great and pretty user friendly. I wouldn't really consider myself too much of a car guy yet but I'm learning as I go!

Yoooo

What place installed it for you ??

Glad it was helpful!

Siiick! I bet it will look great!

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

Thank you I really appreciate that!

Thanks, I really appreciate that!!

Luckily the battery in this car was right above a little hole in the skid-plate. I just fed the strips through that hole and had the wiring tucked up next to and under the battery. Really depends on the configuration under your hood, just kind of have to play around with different ideas until you find what looks best for you.

Haha, thanks I really appreciate that!

Yeah people are really back into liking underglow now haha

Cool, I’m glad you found the video. If you have any questions along the way let me know!

Anytime!

Thanks, the lights don’t really draw power from the battery unless turned on and even then since they are LED they use very little power. I ran these, interior lights, light strips over the headlights and some other lights in my headlights oh and a sound system in the car with no battery issues.

Glad it helped!

Thanks! The brand is Govee and these are the “dream color” model. There’s a link for them in the description of this vid.

Glad I could help!

No problem, thanks for watching!

Thank you!!

Well I actually sold the car and upgraded to a Stinger. But, the kit was great while I had it!

Thanks I really appreciate that!!

Thanks! Yeah looking back I should have installed it with the splash guard off and his the wiring above it. But now I know for the next video, haha!

you had the mechanic remove a "splash guard" from under your car... stay away from your car LOL

I was thinking the same... How is LED & old school neon compare... I didn't know you could still find neon tubes tho. I'd assume LED is a lot brighter, but neon does have a nice "hue" to it, but it has been forever since I've seen neon lighting. I have a LED kit that I've been putting off for a while, but need to get it done tho!!

@@LTSRIDE24 Hey there! OK, so yes..Neon Undercar Kits are still available. They are exclusively being made by StreetGlow and nobody else. They are expensive but very well made. I prefer Neon as apposed to LED but LED still has a cool look to it though. LED is more of a concentrated patch of light while Neon is created by two elements of nature. Neon gas and electricity. If you can afford it and want that "traditional" old school glow under your car, then go with Neon. If you want more of a futuristic as well as that "concentrated" look to your light, then go with LED. Neon is more expensive, LED is more cost effective. Neon is one solid color, LED is your choice of many colors in a multi-color kit. Neon has a more "softer" glow to it...LED is harsher in appearance.

@@Michael030979 great knowledge share - TY!

Thanks, glad to help!!

I recommend the Blue Ghozt controller.

Bro give us an update hows the ride?

hi buddy,

Thank you for the support!🙏🏻

Thank you!!

I ended up just cutting the hanging part off. I tried tucking it in too but it just comes right back out so I just took a pair of regular scissors to it and trimmed it down.

Nope you shouldn’t have to fully disconnect it. Just attach ground first (black wire) to the negative post or a grounded part of your car and then the red to the positive.

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Like the link in the description? It’s still there for this set of lights. Do you get an error when you try to click it?

Glad it helped!

Thanks, glad I could help out!

You can choose the same effect/scene on both of the sets of strips but I’m not exactly sure that it syncs up perfectly inside and out but it’s hard to tell when both sets are doing the same thing.

@@KDMCurt I see, thank you so much 👌🏽

Thank you! Nice lol Kia gang!

Can you add a on off switch to it

So far so good!!

KDM_Curt I got the same kit because of you, and your great instructional Video. It just came in today. I can’t wait to have my car looking fly like yours. thanks again 💯💪🏼

@@KDMCurt need an update 🤘🏽

Thanks man I really appreciate that, glad I could help!!😁

You can, or you can take a cap that’s on the very end from what you cut off and you can attach it to what is now the new end. Most LED strips will have a cap at the end of the strip and usually you can just pop that out and use it again.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I try to make my vids as informational as I can without droning on and being redundant although sometimes I can’t help it haha.

No problem, if you have any questions or anything let me know!

Generally it’s a good idea to use a fuse but it’s not completely necessary with these as the power draw is so low.

I haven’t had any issues with them as long as I had the lights turned off from the app. Battery is still working fine.

They come with this kit.

The only thing this kit should need are those connectors at about the 4:20 mark. You can pick those up at any auto parts store for cheap. Just make sure you get some that will fit on the terminals of your battery. Don’t get ones too small or too big because then the connection could go bad or not work at all.

@@KDMCurt alright thank you! I would’ve just gotten any if you didn’t tell me haha

No problem! Let me know if you need any other help with the install.

Maybe an hour or hour and a half if you’ve got some experience doing it. 2 hours tops.

I connected to battery just as a personal preference. You can connect them to day time running lights in the fuse box, you’ll just need to make sure you have them on if you want to use these lights. If you connect to battery you can turn them on without starting the car.

As long as you turn the lights off with the app or a remote it will not drain your battery. Yes any waterproof light strips should work.

Yes of course you can do that, you can do whatever you like with your own car. I’ve seen plenty of blue cars with underglow kits that have blue lights.

I’m sure you already know this but you can’t have blue or red or any type of emergency colors while driving in public.

It’s good practice to install a fuse but it’s not 100% necessary. A lot of kits now even come with a fuse already wired in for you.

A tiny bit, not enough to drain the battery though.

Used this kit right here - amzn.to/3B9iQNI

Thanks!!

You will need to find out what fuse turns on your running lights in the fuse box and wire the power of this light kit to that fuse.

Not sure why I’m just now getting the notification about this comment sorry about that. Yeah probably just a little more force but not much you don’t want to crack the plastic. Let the drill do most of the work.

@@KDMCurt thank you, I'll do that and no problem!

The battery cover on this Optima has a little opening on the side/back where wires can run thru. If yours doesn’t have that you can just use some heavy duty scissor to make a small opening for cables to pass thru.

I’ve actually been looking at some of that LED wire lately. You might see a video on it soon! lol

Nope, LEDs use very little battery.

With it being wired directly to battery it can stay on without the car running. The remote will turn it off.

With it being wired directly into the battery, have you experience your battery being drained?

Yes, as long as the wires are away from any moving parts like fans or areas that get really hot you should be fine.

KDM_Curt Awesome, thank you for the reply! I look forward to future content coming out

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate that!!

Hmm I don’t recall ever having that issue. Although if you forget to turn them off thru the app they could potentially stay on for a long time.

Yeah the little brackets and screws are reliable. However, for attaching to a metal bottomed truck you might want to look at zip ties to hold them in place underneath.

@@KDMCurt haha that's what I ended up doing. Zip tied the shit out of it but works great

I wouldn’t drill just anywhere. You want to make sure you’re drilling thru just the plastic of the bumper/side skirt. Also be careful of any wiring that may be close to where you drill you don’t want to short out anything.

The optima was on D2 lowering springs and Tru-Hart shocks and struts.

New link should be ready to go!

No, I didn’t download the app until after testing them on the battery.

The app is called Govee Home.

Thank you!

Haha maybe some day in the future.

You're welcome!
