Yes, Underglow lighting is permitted in Poland under strict conditions. The Road Traffic Act (Prawo o Ruchu Drogowym) and Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure (2023) permit non-distracting, white or amber underglow lighting, excluding red or blue hues. Police enforcement focuses on visibility hazards, not decorative use.
Key Regulations for Underglow Lighting in Poland
- Color Restrictions: Only white or amber underglow lighting is allowed; red, blue, or flashing lights are prohibited under Article 55(1) of the Road Traffic Act.
- Installation Limits: Underglow kits must not exceed 500 lumens per side and cannot be activated while the vehicle is in motion, per 2023 Infrastructure Ministry guidelines.
- Visibility Standards: Lighting must not impair the driver’s view or distract other road users, enforced by local traffic police (Policja) under Article 66(2).
Non-compliance risks fines up to 500 PLN (€110) and mandatory removal. The 2026 EU Vehicle Lighting Directive may further harmonize rules, but Poland’s current framework remains unchanged. Dealers must certify compliance with UNECE R112 standards.
