Wheel & Whip Light Installation

Professional wheel light and LED whip light installation for Jeeps and off-road vehicles. Clean wiring, reliable power, and lighting that looks incredible on the trail or at events — installed the right way by Red White & Glow.

WHAT ARE WHEEL LIGHTS & WHIP LIGHTS?

Wheel lights and whip lights are two of the most popular visual upgrades for Jeeps, but they also require proper installation to be reliable and safe.

Wheel lights mount behind the wheels to illuminate the tires, suspension, and ground around your Jeep.

Whip lights mount to the rear of the vehicle and provide height, visibility, and customizable lighting effects.

When installed correctly, they improve visibility, safety, and overall appearance — especially at night, on trails, and at events.

WHY PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MATTERS

Wheel lights and whip lights are commonly installed incorrectly, which can lead to flickering, shorts, dead batteries, or broken mounts.

At Red White & Glow, we focus on:

  • Clean, hidden wiring (no exposed or zip-tied mess)
  • Proper fusing and power distribution
  • Secure mounting built for vibration and trail use
  • Weather-resistant connections for mud and water
  • Reliable control through switches or app-based systems

A professional install ensures your lighting works when you need it — and lasts long term.

WHEEL LIGHT INSTALLATION

Wheel light installation is more involved than most people expect. Proper mounting, clearance, and wiring are critical to prevent damage from heat, moving parts, and debris.

We install:

  • Single-color wheel lights (white, amber, red, etc.)
  • RGB wheel lights
  • Addressable (chasing) RGB wheel lights
  • Hub and rotor-safe mounting solutions
  • Clean wiring routed away from heat and suspension movement

Each setup is customized to your Jeep to ensure proper fitment and reliable performance.

WHIP LIGHT INSTALLATION

Whip lights add height and visibility, especially for trail riding, dunes, and night events. A proper install keeps the whips secure and powered without stressing the wiring or mounts.

We install:

  • Single or dual whip setups
  • 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, 6ft, and fat (COB) LED whips
  • Laser (whipless whips)
  • Solid color, RGB, and chasing whip lights
  • Reinforced mounts and quick-disconnect bases
  • Clean power and control integration

Whip lights are mounted to withstand movement, vibration, and off-road use.

CONTROL OPTIONS & INTEGRATION

Wheel lights and whip lights can be controlled in multiple ways depending on your setup.

We can integrate your lighting with:

  • App-based Bluetooth controllers
  • Stand-alone switches
  • Aftermarket switch panels
  • Existing lighting systems

We’ll recommend the cleanest and most expandable option based on how you plan to use your Jeep now — and in the future.

Wheel & Whip Light Installation Frequently Asked Questions

What are LED whip lights used for?

LED whip lights are tall, flexible light poles mounted to the rear of a vehicle. They improve visibility in low-light or dusty trail conditions and are commonly used for off-road riding, group runs, and shows.

Are wheel lights and whip lights street legal?

Street legality varies by state and local regulations. Many wheel lights and whip lights are intended for off-road and event use only. We can help configure your setup with switches so the lights can be turned off when driving on public roads.

Can wheel lights and whip lights be controlled together?

Yes. Wheel lights and whip lights can be controlled together or separately depending on your setup. We can integrate them using app-based controllers, switches, or aftermarket switch panels for clean and simple operation.

Do wheel lights rotate with the wheels?

Most wheel light systems are mounted stationary behind the wheel on the dust shield and do not rotate with the wheel. This provides even illumination without spinning wires or unreliable connections.

Can you install wheel lights on lifted or modified Jeeps?

Absolutely. We install wheel lights on stock, lifted, and heavily modified Jeeps. Each install is custom-routed to ensure proper clearance, suspension travel, and long-term reliability.

Are whip lights durable for off-road use?

Yes—when installed correctly. We use reinforced mounts, proper wiring protection, and secure routing to ensure whip lights can handle trail riding, mud, and vibration.

Can wheel lights and whip lights be integrated into my existing switch panel?

Yes. We can integrate wheel and whip lights into most factory aux switches, aftermarket switch panels, or digital control systems depending on your Jeep’s setup.

Do wheel lights and whip lights drain the battery?

When installed properly, wheel lights and whip lights have minimal impact on your battery. We wire all systems safely using relays, fused power sources, and proper grounding to prevent issues

Why should wheel lights and whip lights be professionally installed?

Professional installation ensures:
Clean wiring with no exposed or unsafe connections
Proper fuse and relay protection
Reliable operation without flickering or failures
A finished look that matches your Jeep’s build quality

How long does wheel and whip light installation take?

Most installations can be completed in a day, but depending on the complexity of the install, number of lights, control method, and integration with existing systems it could take longer
