WRECKER Under-Glow LED Light Kit
Easy Order Under-Glow LED Light kit for your Wrecker! The closest you'll come to a custom fit without bringing your truck to Boogey Lights HQ.
Boogey Lights® super bright Heavy Duty LED light strips are ideal for working truck applications including commercial tow trucks and wreckers. This UNDER-GLOW LED light kit can be configured to fit any 2, 3 or 3 axle wrecker. It is designed to attach to the bottom of the wrecker and provide under-glow lighting. For flatbed/rollback and hook & chain wreckers, the under-glow lighting is full perimeter (all four sides of the truck). For all other truck types it's three sides: drivers, passengers and under the front bumper. There's even an option to add wheel well lighting. When installed properly, you'll only see the glow from the LED strips; you'll never see the actual LED strips themselves.
We realize there is a lot of information on this product page. We encourage you to take the time to review the information we have assembled here before making your purchase decision. Our lighting systems are the best in the world but they also offer more options and features than anything else. It's important to take time to read the product details to achieve the look you want. Be sure to scroll down, expand each text group section and read the information presented. We think you'll find it's very thorough.
This product is built on our popular high performance HEAVY DUTY LED STRIPS. They are designed to be used in tough, outdoor and commercial applications where the lighting strip might be subject to direct impact, heavy road use or submersed in water. The flexible PVC provides an extra, dual layer of protection above and beyond our already tough LED light strips. Ideal for wrecker and tow truck commercial applications.

FAQS | Frequently Asked Questions
While we encourage you to read all of the information presented on this product page (including the information on the navigation tabs), below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about this product. In all cases, the answers to these FAQs will refer you to other sections of this product page for more details on the topic.
How well will this Under-Glow LED light kit fit my wrecker?
How difficult is this Under-Glow Light Kit to install?
Regardless of the lighting configuration, you must have an understanding of 12vdc power. An essential skill with installation of any Boogey Lights® LED products is knowing how to correctly wire the product to a 12vdc circuit. This includes understanding the importance of having a properly sized fuse at the power source, polarity, how to properly seal an electrical connection, using properly sized wire gauge for the load, measuring voltage and measuring the additional amperage draw you're adding. If you are uncertain or unfamiliar with any of these concepts, we urge you to ask someone who has the knowledge to assist you.
Will adding BOOGEY LIGHTS® to my truck void the manufacturer's warranty?
Will the double-sided 3M® tape really hold the lights to my truck permanently?
Can I easily remove my Boogey Lights® and transfer them to another truck?
I've purchased other LED light strips from Amazon and EBay. Candidly, they're not very good and didn't last long on my truck. What makes Boogey Lights® different?
Are these lighting systems able to operate in all kinds of weather? Will they hold up?
All Boogey Lights® LED Controllers are water resistant and can be used outdoors. They are not however water proof. They should not be submerged in water or subjected to direct water contact for long periods of time. It's certainly OK for them to get wet though. For longevity and best performance, we recommend mounting the LED Controller in a location that will be protected from the elements and in particular, direct water contact. Note too the LED controller should be mounted in an area where there is sufficient air flow around the box to keep it from over-heating. This is particularly true if the number LEDs you have connected to the controller is within 25% of the controller's maximum capacity. The more LEDs you add, the hotter the LED controller will get particularly as it approaches maximum capacity.
Where can I get a Boogey Lights® LED light system installed on my truck?

WHEELBASE MEASUREMENTS
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, previous owner or some website post about the truck. 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 wrecker. The other problem of course is that not everyone knows what the wheelbase measurement is. To assist customers, we have created three wheelbase measurement diagrams based on the number of axles to show what that wheelbase measurement is. Scroll down.
WB = Wheelbase. This is the measurement we need.
AF = After Frame measurement.
CA = Cab to Axle measurement.
B = Bumper measurement.

LED COLOR OPTIONS
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
DUAL COLOR
MULTI-COLOR RGB or RGBA
QUICK-SWITCH FEATURE
The Quick Switch feature comes standard on our HEAVY DUTY SINGLE ZONE and HD DUAL ZONE LED Controllers (all RGBx 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 RGBx diodes normally.
SINGLE ZONE OR DUAL ZONE
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.
WHAT IS RGB + AMBER (RGBA)?
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.
WHAT IS DUAL COLOR?
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 eight Dual Color configuration options: RED+AMBER, RED+BLUE (see note below), 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 (unless RED + BLUE). Note: The Dual Color options includes one ON-OFF-ON 3 way toggle switch and two, 30 amp relays.
RED + BLUE Dual Color. We offer a RED + BLUE Dual Color option. This lighting configuration uses our standard RGB LED strips where only the RED and the BLUE diodes are wired. It's a common choice for wreckers operating in states where its legal to display red and blue. You'll notice too we offer our DUAL COLOR FLASHER dual zone controller which can be used to flash/strobe the red and blue lights if you want. With this configuration, the red diodes are wired to zone one and the blue diodes to zone two. Doing so gives you the ability to strobe/flash either zone or both together.
SINGLE COLOR CONFIGURATION
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.
We offer super-bright Wrecker Body LED Light to fit the side of most any wrecker format.

OTHER ITEMS YOU MAY NEED
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.
3M ADHESION PRIMER INCLUDED
Each kit includes 3M®primer. It's important the surface be prepared properly to make sure the LED strips stay stuck.
