Consider the desired length and color of both accessories. Longer whips offer better detection from greater distances, while shorter whips can provide a more streamlined look. Choose a color that complements your UTV or serves a specific function. You can opt for high-visibility colors like amber or red for safety or go for blue or green for a more customized look.
Make sure your UTV's electrical system can handle the power draw of your chosen whip lights. Upgrading your battery might be necessary for high-powered options. However, to avoid upgrading your battery, take note of the power requirements of the lights.
Consider the type of terrain you'll be conquering. Denser environments require brighter lights (higher lumens) to ensure maximum visibility. Standard on/off switches are available, but remote-controlled whips allow for dynamic lighting displays.
Standard LED whips offer continuous illumination, while remote-controlled options allow for customizable lighting patterns, adding a touch of flair to your off-road presence. Pick a length that complements your UTV's size and doesn't drag on the ground. Longer whips offer more visibility, but shorter ones can be more practical for tight trails.
Select a flag size that provides enough visibility without obstructing your view or creating wind resistance. Choose from classic solid flags or opt for bold graphic designs that reflect your personality or off-road group affiliation. You can also have your nation's flag to show your patriotism.
Ensure the flags are constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials that can handle rugged off-road environments. Both your whip lights and flags will face the elements – rain, wind, and harsh terrain. Ensure they're built with strong, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the demands of off-roading.
Verify compatibility between your chosen whip lights and flags with your Polaris Xpedition's existing mounting points, or choose a combo kit that includes brackets for a seamless installation.
