Two thumb-sized RGB lamps for the driver and passenger footwells, hard-wired to the car's 12V supply, that glow in any colour and flicker in time with the music.
Of every car light in the family, QAUBEN's footwell pair is the smallest way to give a cabin a mood. Two little lamps, each about the size of a thumb, tuck under the dash on the driver and passenger sides and pour colour onto the floor mats. The glow sits low, lights the space rather than the windscreen, and turns a routine night drive into something that feels like the start of a party.
Each lamp is 4.2cm long, 2.1cm wide and 1.1cm tall, holding bright 5050 RGB LEDs on an aluminium base. That base spreads heat away from the chips, so the housing stays cool enough to touch. The lamps are sealed to IP68, which matters in a footwell where wet shoes, snow and spilled coffee all end up.
Because the light points down, it never competes with the road ahead. A dim, cool colour is easy on the eyes for long motorway stretches; a warm red keeps night vision intact on dark lanes. Passengers see their feet, find a dropped phone and feel the cabin wrap around them.
The kit sticks to one colour at a time across both lamps. That keeps the footwells matched, which is the tidy, factory-fitted look most drivers want.
Picture the school run on a winter morning with a soft teal under the dash, or a Friday night pick-up where the footwells glow the same pink as the playlist cover. Small lamps, big change in how the car feels.

Tap music mode in Lotus Lantern and the footwells start dancing. A sensitive microphone in the controller listens to the cabin, so the car stereo, a phone on the dash speaker or the whole car singing along all drive the colour. Beats flash the lamps; quiet passages let them settle into a soft glow.
The app also offers timers and a memory that restores the last colour when the ignition comes back on. A voice-control feature lets the phone's microphone change the colour on a spoken word, handy when both hands belong on the wheel.
Keep the brightness modest while driving and save the strobes for when the car is parked. Rules on interior lighting differ from place to place, and a gentle footwell glow is the style least likely to distract anyone.
Mic placement shapes how lively the show looks. Tucked near a door speaker, the controller catches every kick drum; buried deep in the dash, it hears less and reacts more gently. Nudge the sensitivity in the app until the flicker feels right for the music you play most.
This version of the kit connects by a DC wire rather than a cigarette-lighter plug, which means it joins the car's 12V wiring directly. The result is the cleanest install: no plug hogging the power socket, no lead trailing across the console. It does ask for a little more care, or a trip to an installer, than a plug-in kit.
The 150cm leads reach from a central controller to both sides of most cars, from small hatchbacks to family SUVs. Cable ties along existing looms keep them clear of pedals, steering linkages and seat runners.
QAUBEN sells the same lamps with other power options, including a lighter plug and USB, but the version here is the DC wire kit. For a plug-in approach, look at the fibre-optic and acrylic kits in the family.
A permanent feed has one catch: a controller left listening all night draws a trickle from the battery. For a car parked for weeks between drives, the ignition-switched circuit is the safer home, and the memory still brings the colour back at the next start.
Footwell lamps are the most subtle car lighting in the family. They light the floor, not the dash, so the cabin gains atmosphere without lines of colour on show. Kits that trace the dash and doors with fibre or acrylic bars go bolder, while underglow moves the show outside the car entirely.
| Kit | Where it glows | Look |
|---|---|---|
| QAUBEN footwell, 2 lamps | Front footwells | Soft pools of colour on the floor |
| QAUBEN fibre optic, 5m | Dash, doors, console | Thin lines of colour along trim |
| Jushope acrylic | Dash and doors | Glowing bars with chasing colour |
| Xprite underglow | Under the car | A halo on the road |
Before ordering, decide on these:
As a gift for a new driver, the footwell pair is a quiet upgrade that suits any car and never looks aftermarket. For someone who wants the cabin to feel like a club, the fibre and acrylic kits pair well with it, adding lines of colour higher up while these lamps fill in the floor.
Matching the colours across kits is simple when both run on Lotus Lantern, as the QAUBEN fibre kit does. One app, two controllers, and the floor and the dash can glow in the same shade for a finished, coordinated cabin.
This version connects by a DC wire to the car's 12V system, ideally through an add-a-fuse tap on a switched circuit.
Yes. The lamps are sealed to IP68 and sit in aluminium housings, so wet shoes and spills are no problem.
It is a universal kit with two 150cm leads, long enough to reach both front footwells in most cars.
Lotus Lantern, over Bluetooth. The lamps are found by the app itself, with no pairing step in the phone's settings.
