No, underglow lighting is prohibited in Denmark under the Road Traffic Act (Færdselsloven) and Executive Order on Lighting for Vehicles (Bekendtgørelse om køretøjers belysning), effective since 2023. The Danish Transport Authority (Trafikstyrelsen) enforces these rules, aligning with EU vehicle lighting standards. Exceptions exist for emergency vehicles, but civilian use risks fines or confiscation. No 2026 regulatory shifts are anticipated.
Key Regulations for Underglow Lighting in Denmark
- Prohibition on Non-Standard Lighting: Underglow lights are classified as “distracting or misleading” per Bekendtgørelse nr. 1055/2022, violating Article 31 of the Road Traffic Act. Only factory-installed lighting meeting UNECE R48 standards is permitted.
- Color and Position Restrictions: White or amber lights facing forward and red lights facing rearward are mandatory. Blue, green, or multicolored underglow lights are explicitly banned under Bekendtgørelse nr. 1245/2023.
- Enforcement and Penalties: Police (Politiet) may issue fines up to DKK 1,000 (≈€134) and confiscate non-compliant lighting. Customs (Toldstyrelsen) also monitors imports of such kits.
