I remember seeing a group of ricers pass me on the highway hooked up with underbody lighting and i thought it was awesome, looked pretty cool to me.
I spose LED's would work, as long as its a nice even glow and not overpowered like a flash light.

An Excerpt from TX Law:

leds, will last longer, and not break.
pretty sure any underglow is an equipment violation since it distracts people

I never really understood why people do underbody glows, unless it is a car show and you want to get rid of shadows with subtle white lighting. Even in games like NFS or more recently Midnight Club: LA, I would throw up on the sight of underbody glows

When I was young, back in high school, yeah, probably would do this, underglow... cuz, that was what most people use to do in the 90s...
I wouldn't do it to my TL-S, however, I wonder what would it look like with a red red underglow.... anybody? Pic to share?

I did puddle lights on my car though and it ended up being a disaster. The led's were fairly cheap and the install was fairly easy, although I did not do all of it, but the weather conditions in CT made these a problem for me. Too much snow and salt on the roads here and the first time we had a big storm 2 of them went out. When I checked there was just so much snow packed up under my a spec kit it was horrible. I fixed them and the next snow storm we had another one went out. This was a failed mod on my part. I guess I should have thought about the weather a little more before I did this....

I would do a very very subtle soft white glow under skirts on my WDP...
The puddle lights make the car look like a spaceship, and ricer leds... well... like an xmas tree on wheels.

I have blue under mine https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/led-lights-644240/
The best part about most LED kits it that you get the option of 7 colors so you can switch it up. You should know though that blue and red are illegal in all states. I have been pulled over for it three times, talked myself out of them, but ya just so you know.
