XK-Glow LED Light Kits, Whips and Underglow at SideBySideStuff.com

For over a decade, XK-Glow has been driven by constant pursuit to produce high quality, innovative products for the motorcycle, automotive and entertainment lighting industry. Paving a road to success, they have earned a well-known reputation as one of the leading manufacturers and innovators of LED lighting products in the transportation industry. As the UTV industry exploded it was a no brainer for XK-Glow to get products rollin’ for side by sides, underglow LED lights and LED whips are great add-on accessories and are very popular amongst the SxS community. It was no issue for XK-Glow to put out top quality lighting products, but what would separate them from the rest? To take it a step further than their competitors on the market, the R & D team at XK-Glow combined innovation and modern technology to design a product that takes LED lighting to the next level.

Smart Brake

One of the top concerns for UTV and ATV safety is brake light visibility during night riding. XKchrome BLE 4.0 app controller features an integrated Smart Brake sensor wire that allows the app to turn the entire LED whip or under glow kit into a brake light. XKchrome immediately switches all LED lights on in red as soon as you apply the brake increasing the visibility of your UTV or ATV and promoting faster reaction of the vehicle behind you.

For many off-road enthusiasts music is a significant part of their riding experience. The mobile app includes a Music Sync feature that enables lights to “dance” with the rhythm of the song playing from your phone, or with any sounds that are picked up by the microphone. Furthermore, the app has an adaptive algorithm that dynamically adjusts the volume sensitivity to maximize visual effect.

Chameleon Feature

The mobile app also has a real time “chameleon” feature allowing you to light up your ride with any color you see. Whether it’s stunning paint job or a bright tee shirt, you can point your phone’s camera at a colored object and XKchrome instantly matches your LED lights to the very same eye-catching color.

While it’s not likely (unless you’ve put back one too many or are attending a busy UTV rally), we’ve all had that moment where we forget where we parked. Yeah, the guys at XK-Glow thought of that too. The XKchrome mobile app can help to locate your parked vehicle, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth Smart Beacon. After you park your vehicle and walk away, the XKchrome app automatically pins down your location. When you’re in need to find the way back, you can easily look up your vehicle’s location on the app. Once you get close enough to your vehicle you can turn on the lights, you’ll now be able to single your rig out from an endless parking row.
