Best Running Board Light Assemblies of 2026

"I put these on my 2001 Ford Crown Vic and they've been a perfect match for my car's style, especially with my fuzzy dice. Installation was a breeze, and even after a year—plus car washes and a bit of offroading—the adhesive is still holding up strong. The lights are super bright, and the different modes, especially the music mode, make every drive more fun. For the price, I don't think you can do better."

"I installed these on my full-size 4-door pickup and was impressed by the generous wire length and included mounting hardware. It only took about 45 minutes to set up. The lights are extremely bright at night, and the remote works from both inside and outside the vehicle. This kit is an amazing value—I’d absolutely buy it again or gift it to a friend."

"As someone who's bought multiple sets, I love the unique glow effect they add to my Kia Soul, both inside and out. My first set is working perfectly, but the second set unfortunately started flickering and stopped working within a month. Despite that, I still recommend them for their quality, and I'm hoping customer support can help me out."

"I'm just an average DIYer, but these lights really impressed me. The brightness is fantastic and they perfectly match my truck's amber running lights. Installation was a bit of an adventure since my vehicle's wiring diagram wasn't very clear, but with some patience and a multimeter, I got everything hooked up. The durability is top-notch—no issues with the lights coming loose, even after months of use."

"I installed these on my F-150 and they instantly gave my truck a high-end look. Finding the right wires took time, but once connected, the sequential turn signals and courtesy lights worked flawlessly. I appreciate how they handle tough weather and keep shining bright."

"These OPT7 LED strips are a game changer! The sequential turn signals really stand out and the courtesy lights make every entry feel like a VIP experience. They've survived snow and rain without a hitch, and the adhesive hasn't budged at all. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add style and visibility."

"I've added these lights to two of my trucks now, and the installation process has always been simple. They're extremely bright and the sequential flash is perfect for visibility—especially when I'm towing. The white lighting under the truck is just right for my needs."

"As someone who enjoys DIY projects, I spent a good amount of time figuring out the wiring for the courtesy lights. But once installed, the brightness and custom features really make my truck stand out. The courtesy lights are a huge convenience at night, and I appreciate being able to add switches to control brightness as needed."

"These lights were great at first—bright and easy to wire. Unfortunately, after a few months, moisture caused some issues and the strips started acting up. I think leaving a bit of extra wire for easy replacement is a good idea."

"I absolutely love the freedom and control these lights offer. From solid colors to syncing with music, I can customize everything. The installation was quick and discreet, and I appreciate having both phone and remote control options. The lights are well-protected under my vehicle and the brightness is fully adjustable. All my friends are impressed—I've even shared the link with them!"

"This light bar truly upgrades my 2017 Silverado. The LEDs are brilliant and bright, making my truck stand out. Installation was a breeze, especially with the strong 3M tape and the option to splice into the 7-Way. I've already recommended it to my family—my parents can’t wait to get one for their own truck!"

"I had some issues with the adhesive not sticking well and the lights stopped working after a short time. However, when I reached out to customer service, they sent me a free replacement right away. This time, I’ll probably use the included screws for a more secure mount. Customer support was responsive and helpful."

"I've had these lights for a year and they've survived brutal Wisconsin winters with temperatures dropping to -20°F without any issues. They're incredibly bright, don’t flicker or dim, and the installation is worth the effort if you wire them properly. I’d definitely buy them again!"

"I installed these on my 2024 Tundra Crewmax LB for courtesy lighting and they matched my bed light color perfectly. Although there were no instructions included, I found plenty of guidance online. The final result with RTV sealant was fantastic, but this is not a plug-and-play project."

"As soon as I opened the box, I could tell these were high-quality LED strips, much better than the ones that came with my trailer. They’re extremely bright and clearly waterproof—I’m so happy I want to cover my whole trailer with them!"

"I was seeking lights for my pickup and camper that offer multiple functions without being too harsh. These strips were easy to mount on my running boards, and I like that they provide clearance, turn, and courtesy lighting. By wiring them to both the trailer lights and a switch in the cab, I now have a bright, non-blinding white light for the pathway and clear signals for turns. The installation was simple, especially after cleaning the area, and I appreciate that they're waterproof for durability. I'd recommend them to anyone aiming to boost safety and visibility."

"These LED running board lights are very bright thanks to the 360 LEDs per strip, and the white and amber color contrast is excellent. They work well as turn signals, parking lights, and courtesy lights, making them a versatile upgrade for my vehicle. The only challenge was the wiring, which took a bit of patience and electrical know-how, but the lighting performance is top-notch."

"I installed these lights recently and they matched the product pictures. The setup was straightforward and they work great. Installation was easy and didn't take much time."

"I installed these on my truck and they really made my vehicle stand out. The look is fantastic and they were super easy to put on."

"As an experienced mechanic, I was excited to add these lights to my truck. The installation was simple and the lights looked great at first, but after a few minutes, they started glitching and stopped working. I tried reinstalling, but now they don't come on at all."

"After following the instructions closely, I found the wiring wasn’t compatible with my truck. The turn signal and running lights didn’t work as expected, and the wiring seemed designed for a different setup. I ended up returning these and will look for a better alternative."

"I’m impressed by how bright and vivid the logo projects on my BMW door. The installation was quick and effortless, and for the price, I couldn’t ask for more."

"It took me maybe seven minutes to install all four lights—super simple! The illumination seriously pops, and I would absolutely recommend them to other BMW owners."

"At first, I worried the lights wouldn’t be real M Performance projectors, but I was wrong—they’re legit and look very elegant. The fit is perfect for my BMW, and honestly, I can’t recommend them enough. If you want that extra touch for your ride, go for it!"

"I finally put these on my Jeep and I’m really impressed—they look fantastic for emergencies or trail rides. The installation was straightforward since I have some experience with auto wiring, and I found that using extra adhesive and zip ties kept everything secure. They seem sturdy and fit my four-door Jeep perfectly. I’d definitely recommend them!"

"The lights are similar to other brands, but I noticed the brightness just isn’t strong enough during the day—they’re a bit too dim for daylight use. On the upside, the cables are high quality and the connectors are small, which made threading them through tight spots much easier. The flash patterns are easy to switch up, but checking which mode is active takes a little extra effort."

"If you’re installing these, bench test first! My initial set had a strip that didn’t work, and the color codes for wiring weren’t correct. To get the white lights to work both with the dome and tail lights, I had to add a diode to prevent backfeeding. Everything works now, but the wiring took more effort than expected."
