Auto Lighting & LED Light Bars
Auto Lighting Installation in Burlington, NC
Upgrade your headlights, add fog lights, or mount an LED light bar for off-road use. Cars & Truckware installs auto lighting for cars, trucks, and Jeeps across the Piedmont Triad.
When Your Vehicle Needs Better Lighting
Stock lighting works fine for daily errands, but it often falls short the moment you leave a well-lit road. Whether you drive a work truck, a Jeep headed for the trails, or a daily driver that needs a visibility boost, upgraded lighting is one of the most practical auto accessory installation projects a Burlington vehicle owner can make.
Common reasons drivers come to us for auto lighting installation:
- Factory headlights that leave dark stretches of road at night
- Adding an LED light bar for hunting land, farm work, or off-road trails
- Fog lights for driving in heavy rain, mist, or low-visibility conditions
- Replacing dim, yellowed, or damaged headlight and taillight housings
- Upgrading reverse or cargo lighting on a work truck or van
- Wanting a customized look that matches other truck accessories already installed
If any of that sounds like your vehicle, an auto lighting installation consultation can usually be scheduled the same week.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Us Over a Full Body Shop
A full-service body shop is built for collision repair and insurance paperwork, not for wiring in an LED light bar or matching a lighting kit to your specific make and model. Cars & Truckware focuses on exactly this kind of automotive customization, so you get a technician who installs lighting systems regularly, not one squeezing it between collision jobs.
Choosing our shop over a full body shop means:
-
Faster scheduling since lighting work does not compete with major body repair jobs
-
Technicians who specialize in truck accessories and auto accessory installation, not just collision repair
-
Straightforward pricing with a free estimate before any work begins
-
Wiring done correctly the first time, protecting your vehicle's electrical system
-
The option to bundle lighting with other upgrades like a truck bed liner installation or interior protection products in one visit
-
Walk-ins welcome if you want questions answered before you commit

Been using these guys for over 20 years they have did everything from light body work to putting on step rails and bed covers. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work. I've read some of the negative reviews here and they would not have done damage to a car and not fixed it Barry is a honest and straight forward person.
