Remember the days when you used to have to walk up to your car and turn the key to unlock it? Unless you own a classic car, these days likely feel far in the past, more and more each day, thanks to the ever-increasing prominence of technology. Overall, that’s not the worst thing in the world. Many of today’s innovations have made our lives easier, and even those that are not necessarily practical are certainly entertaining. The smartphone seems to be at the center of it all.
Smartphones have been a part of and, quite frankly, have been the source of numerous technological advances over the last several years. They can open your garage, make sure your house is locked, and turn off your lights. There’s even a smartphone app that allows you to control paper airplanes. The possibilities are seemingly endless, as there are new ways in which to use smartphones sprouting up every day. Which brings us to one of the newest smartphone innovations – smartphone-controlled LED underbody lighting.
Let’s face it. Underbody lighting is all about showing off your ride. That’s where the smartphone really comes into play. It used to be that you could only turn underbody lights on from inside the car, but the problem was that nobody can see the lights while they’re inside the car. With this new smartphone technology, that problem is solved, as you are now able to impress your friends by lighting up the underside of your car from anywhere.
Features of Smartphone-Controlled Underbody Lighting

It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about something as simple as a new television or something as intricate as the latest Apple iPhone – when it comes to any new technology, it’s all about what it can do. Underbody lighting is fascinating in its own right, but when you add the ability to control it using nothing more than your phone, the fascination factor borders on ridiculous.
On the subject of ridiculousness, it seems only fit to mention a few of the main features you’ll encounter with smartphone-controlled underbody lighting.
Wide array of colors. The feature that jumps out the most when you can control your lighting with your smartphone is the array of colors that is suddenly at your disposal. It’s almost overwhelming. Rather than being stuck having only a few colors to choose from, there is now a smartphone app that enables you to select from a seemingly endless number of color variations.
Simplicity. This technology is made easy to use, as Bluetooth technology allows you to control your car’s lighting any time you are within range of its control box. Perhaps most importantly, Bluetooth allows you to connect from virtually anywhere you are. You aren’t the only one that can have fun with this technology. If they install your kit’s smartphone app, you can give your friends access to the controls of your underbody lighting system, which, while maybe not practical, definitely adds to the entertainment quotient of this new technology.
Lights with a personal touch. The underbody lighting you choose for your vehicle is (or at least should be) based on your own personal style. You know the look that you’re going for, and these smartphone apps go the extra mile to help you get there. If you choose, you can turn underbody lights and interior tubes on and off either together or independently of one another. Customization is easier than ever, as you can save your lighting preferences directly onto the app.
Different lighting modes. Speaking of lighting preferences, you now have more modes to choose from than ever before. In fact, you can choose from up to ten customized lighting modes, which is more than enough to fulfill even the most creative of souls. These modes include not only different colors and patterns, but also varying brightness levels and pattern speeds.

In Conclusion
If you’re just getting into underbody lighting, you’ve certainly picked a great time to get involved. For those who have been lighting aficionados for a long time, you’ve been dreaming about these innovations for a while. Either way, smartphone-controlled underbody lights are a futuristic feature that will enable you and your ride to stand out, all while becoming the center of attention as soon as you pull up.
