XKGLOW Light Bar Installed & First Impressions Review (w/ Videos)

[thrillbourne]

After months of waiting, my XKmax Light Bar from XKGLOW finally arrived yesterday. Overall I am quite pleased though I've only messed around with it a little bit.

Here are my first impressions:

• Build quality seems solid, instructions were clear, and it took about an hour to get installed.
• Extra items needed were a wire stripper, heat gun, electrical tape and socket wrench.
• XKmax app is easy to pair, mostly intuitive and has plenty of preset themes and customization.
• Didn't notice any extra wind noise driving around town up to 65 mph.

Red/blue/white is usually LE. I'm hesitant about combining red and blue ?

What other color combos do they have?

Yeah some of these are definitely not road legal. I really like the music EQ mode but I can't record from the same phone.

Here's a few from the app:

Nice look man on your wrap and accessories! I installed mine last night, such a nice light bar! Def the best 3rd party one on the market at this time!

Love the light bar! But what are those rims/tires - they look awesome!

Nice and thank you! I was getting a little nervous with the tariff situation but am glad they pulled through. Definitely worth the wait!

Thanks! They're 24" Gianelle Cabo Big Caps and RBP Repulsor M/T's

This is the light bar I’ve been waiting on, but I wanted to see some reviews on it first. I see they’ve bumped the price from the $999 it was originally listed for.

Wow, glad I placed it this morning before the jump.

At this point I’ll probably wait and see if they have a sale, haha.

Definitely curious to see reviews on the lighting performance and if anyone can compare the lighting to the OEM light bar.

It has 45 bulbs on the actual light bar, not including the LED light strip. It's super bright at night, I have it installed on my CT. I have a video, but it's hard to tell because in person is way brighter then a video but you can check out my video if you haven't.

Playing with mine.. Only complaint: The bolts holding it down are in a very awkward place to reach and get a Hex key into.

Your truck looks awesome ?

What did you do to the front dashboard to make it red like that?

Wrapped it in suede. The dash is super easy but the door panels are more challenging so I will get to them later.

I did the same. Installed yesterday. Do not like the gap between brackets and truck. easy for water to get into that. Also, mine sits a touch high, so rubber gasket at bottom of light sits almost off the windshield. seems dropping those hex bolts a bit helps. Also, figured out if I put those hex bolts on brackets first and install hex nuts onto them, I can spin them with a 10 mm first and only used that allen key a few times.
