So, you're looking to add some extra flair to your car's interior. You've been eyeing those LED strip lights that you saw on Instagram, and now you want to buy them so you can show off your car in front of your friends and colleagues. But before you do, there are a few things to consider.
Safety
While the LED car lights look cool, you should make sure they come with safety features. They should not be bright enough that they distract other drivers on the road. This can be especially dangerous if your car has a sunroof with no tinting to protect against glare from above or side windows (especially in an SUV). Next, check the label to see if they’re made of waterproof material and have built-in overheating protection. If not, this could cause serious damage or fire hazard while driving down the highway at high speeds in inclement weather. They should be durable enough to withstand bumps on the road and other types of wear-and-tear that come with everyday use, without breaking down or getting damaged.
Customization
The next thing you'll want to think about is customization options – how much control do you have over the colors and patterns? Some systems let you choose from preset colors while others allow you to personalize everything from hue (color) to intensity (brightness) and mood effects such as strobe, fade, flash, and more. If you want to have a more immersive lighting experience, look for a set of lights with built-in music synchronization that can change colors in time with the beat of your favorite music. To get control over your lights, look for those that come with remote control or app access so you can change things up at any time without having to fiddle with switches manually.
Long-Lasting Bulbs
When buying LED lights for your car interior, you want lights that won’t drain your battery or put unnecessary strain on the engine. Luckily, most modern LEDs are very efficient—they are powered by a 12V or 24V DC supply and last up to 50 times longer than conventional bulbs.
Ease of Installation
You don’t want to spend hours trying to install the lights yourself or pay a hefty amount to mechanics to get them installed. For a hassle-free installation, make sure they are equipped with strong adhesion, so you can get them up and running without fumbling with ties and messy cords. Also, ensure they don't interfere with any other electrical components in your car, like your radio or air conditioning system during installation.
