3. Setup and Installation
The XKGLOW LED Light Kit is designed for plug-n-play installation. Follow these steps for optimal performance and longevity.
- Plan Your Layout: Before mounting, determine the desired locations for your LED strips/pods and the control module. Consider areas like under the tank, saddlebags, ground effects, behind the air cleaner, or on brake calipers. Ensure cables can reach without being stretched or pinched.
- Clean Mounting Surfaces: Thoroughly clean and dry all surfaces where LED strips/pods will be mounted. Use an alcohol wipe to remove any grease or dirt, ensuring proper adhesion of the mounting tape.
- Mount LED Strips/Pods: Peel the backing from the adhesive tape on the LED strips/pods and firmly press them onto the chosen surfaces. Hold for a few seconds to ensure good contact.
- Mount Control Module: Secure the control module in a dry, protected location, away from direct heat or moisture. Ensure it is accessible for wiring connections.
- Connect Wiring:
- Connect the LED strips/pods to the control module using the provided extension cables and connectors. Ensure all connections are snug.
- Connect the power wiring harness to the control module.
- Connect the red wire of the power harness to a switched 12V positive (+) power source on your motorcycle (e.g., accessory wire).
- Connect the black wire of the power harness to a reliable ground (-) point on the motorcycle chassis.
- Secure Cables: Use the provided zip ties to neatly route and secure all cables, preventing them from dangling, rubbing against hot engine parts, or interfering with moving components.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the motorcycle's power. Turn on the ignition and use the wireless remote control to test all light functions (on/off, color change, dimming, effects).

Your XKGLOW LED Light Kit is controlled by a compact 4-key wireless remote. Familiarize yourself with its functions:
- Power Button (On/Off): Press once to turn the lights on, press again to turn them off.

Ensure the remote has a clear line of sight or is within range of the control module for optimal response.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your LED light kit.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe LED strips and the control module with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for looseness or corrosion. Ensure zip ties are secure and cables are not rubbing against sharp edges or hot components.
- Adhesion Check: Verify that all LED strips/pods remain firmly adhered to their mounting surfaces. Re-secure with additional adhesive if necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your XKGLOW LED Light Kit, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power to the control module; loose wiring; dead remote battery. | Check power and ground connections. Ensure the inline switch is on. Replace remote battery. Verify motorcycle ignition is on if connected to a switched power source. |
