Controlling Your Lights

A helpful guide to your lighting experience

LED Controllers There's a few things you need to think about before choosing how to control your lights.

You need to decide on which LED type you want for your vehicle. It is important to make that decision first because our controllers are not compatible with just any LED type. You have to choose a controller that is compatible. For single color LEDs, we have a keychain remote that will turn it on/off and no controller is needed for switchback LEDs. For RGBW and Flow Series LEDs we offer a few options which we have laid out below.

LIGHTING TRENDZ • CONTROLLER GUIDE

LED Controllers for Car & Truck Lights

Your lights. Your control.

Choose the right LED controller for your car or truck. Match your LED type and voltage first, then decide how you want to control your build.

01 / LED TYPE

RGBW or Flow Series?

RGBW displays one selected color across your lights. Flow Series adds animated, chasing effects. Compare LED options →

02 / VOLTAGE

Match 5V or 12V.

Check your kit’s operating voltage, connectors and regulator requirements. Controllers and LED types are not universally interchangeable.

03 / CONTROL

Phone, handheld or both?

Choose app control, a dedicated handheld, or a compatible Pro Bluetooth module with an optional handheld add-on.

MEET THE MOTOAUTO APP

From your phone to your lights.

Your phone sends your selections over Bluetooth to the compatible Pro controller. The controller powers and directs the connected LEDs to display your chosen color or effect.

MOTOAUTO app → Bluetooth Pro controller → Your RGBW or Flow Series lights

MOTOAUTO app color wheel with color presets, effect selection, speed and brightness sliders

Choose your color. Set the mood.

Use the color wheel to select your shade and adjust brightness. RGBW Pro controls solid colors across compatible RGBW lights. Flow Series Pro also lets compatible addressable LEDs display animated, chasing effects, with speed and effect controls.

MOTOAUTO vehicle view showing wheel, underglow, interior and front or back lighting areas

See the areas of your build.

The vehicle view shows lighting areas such as wheels, underglow and interior lights. Available areas and separate control depend on your connected controllers, compatible LEDs and wiring. The app alone does not add independent lighting zones.

MOTOAUTO is used with our compatible RGBW Pro and Flow Series Pro controllers. BlueGhozt uses its own app; other controller models may use different apps. Screenshots show the app interface; available functions vary by controller and configuration.

LED controller questions, answered.

Which LED controller do I need for my car or truck?

Match the LED type, operating voltage and wiring first. Then choose Bluetooth app control, a dedicated handheld, or a compatible Bluetooth Pro module with a handheld add-on. Your lighting kit’s requirements determine which controller will work.

Can I use the same controller for RGBW and Flow Series lights?

Choose a controller designed for your specific LEDs. Standard RGBW shows one selected color across the lights; Flow Series adds animated, chasing effects. BlueGhozt supports addressable RGB Flow and RGBW Flow LEDs, which are different from standard RGBW lighting.

Do 5V LEDs need a voltage regulator?

A 5V lighting setup needs the correct regulated 5V supply. Never connect 5V LEDs directly to a vehicle’s 12V power. Confirm the regulator, current capacity and wiring required for your kit; do not assume a regulator is included.

Can a Pro handheld add-on work by itself?

No. The Pro handheld add-on communicates with an installed compatible Bluetooth Pro module. It is a different option from the dedicated Flow Series handheld controller.

What is the difference between BlueGhozt Lite and Plus?

BlueGhozt Plus adds four +12V accessory power switches. Both models control compatible addressable Flow Series lighting; select the correct 5V or 12V configuration and harness. Keep the controller protected from weather inside the vehicle.

Can I synchronize multiple lights or control separate zones?

Compatible Pro controllers can be grouped when the LEDs use the same LED type. Separate control depends on the controller and wiring. Multiple harness outputs do not automatically mean independently controlled zones. Confirm your desired zones before ordering.

Will Bluetooth control work with my phone?

Check the required app and your phone’s operating system on the selected product page before ordering. BlueGhozt uses its own iOS or Android app. The Pro handheld add-on provides physical control through a compatible installed Pro module.

Another thing to think about is if you prefer using your phone to take control or if you want to control your lights independently with a separate handheld.

Finding the perfect LED lighting for your car is a big part of the fun, but the selection of the perfect controller is a very important aspect to your LED lighting experience. Your controller is a small, but significant part that holds the power to unlock the full potential of your LED lighting experience.

Taking control of your headlights is one thing, but operating headlights PLUS your grille, underbody and wheel lights is a next level experience!

Flow Series Controllers

One thing to note when controlling your Flow Series lights are knowing their voltage. They are probably either 5v for headlights and interior lights or 12v underbody, grille, or wheel lights. Selecting the ideal remote control hinges on your unique preferences and requirements.

  • For Classic Connoisseurs: Opt for the simplicity and elegance of the Flow Series Handheld remote, providing timeless appeal and effortless functionality.

  • For Tech-Savvy Enthusiasts: Embrace the convenience of smartphone control with the Flow Series Bluetooth remote, offering limitless customization at your fingertips.

  • For Showstoppers: Indulge in the ultimate LED experience with the Flow Series Blueghozt remote, where customization knows no bounds.

RGBW Controllers

All our RGBW LEDs are controlled through a bluetooth controller. We offer two different bluetooth options, which is as a single channel or a dual channel. Our single channel options is a Pro controller which offers the ability to sync with a separate handheld remote.

Bluetooth Pro - Single Channel

This can be connected to multiple different lights such as a grille light and a halo light, and you can have matching red led lights all in the control of one single channel remote.

Bluetooth 1.0 - Dual Channel

A dual-channel controller allows you to connect two different RGBW set ups with different colors and light patterns simultaneously. With the dual channel remote, you'll have a single device mounted in your vehicle with the ability to control two separate areas.

For example, if you want to control your halos separately from your Demon Eyes, you can connect both to the controller label each one on the app. This is good for people who need separate zones inside their headlights or grille lights, anything that’s 5V.

Note: This controller is not recommended for underglow or wheel ring lighting.
