Diode Dynamics have done it again! They just announced their new HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit.
If you want a quick and easy way to install a single reverse light/brake light on your truck, then this is it.

They took their SSC1 and re-vamped it to fit in their patent pending hitch mount. This slides right into your existing hitch mount and plugs in-line with your factory 7-pin trailer connection (behind the bumper, where you won't see it).

It's available in 2 configurations.

The C1 is your standard reverse light. Comes on when you go into reverse.
The C1R kit integrates a red LED so that when your lights are on, there is a faint red glow. Step on the brakes, it glows brighter. Go in reverse, you guessed it... white reverse light outputs.

A quick and easy option if you want a bit more light back there for backing up.

Available now for pre-order. Shipping ETA is currently 11/18/2022.

FEATURES
  • Allows you to mount an SSC1 or C1R LED pod in any 2-inch trailer hitch receiver.
  • Adds a powerful reverse light, 4th brake light, and additional running light.
  • Simple 5-minute installation, with no need for custom wiring or routing wires.
  • Optional SafetyStrobe brake light strobing.
  • Designed and assembled in USA.
OVERVIEW

Add significantly more light output when backing up at night with our Stage Series HitchMount Reverse Light Kit! This kit allows you to mount one SSC1 or C1R LED pod in your 2-inch trailer hitch receiver, adding a high-power reverse light, additional running light, and an optional 4th brake light with the C1R option. With the included wiring harness, this kit connects to your vehicle's factory trailer hitch wiring for simple, everyday operation.

Brighter Backup. Factory reverse bulbs just don't provide enough light output to back up at night confidently. By pairing our patented TIR optics with high-powered LEDs, the SSC1 and C1R included in this kit provide an additional reverse light that's several times brighter than stock bulbs alone. Plus, they automatically come on when the vehicle is put in reverse!

Additional Running Light. The Stage Series LED pods included with this kit feature a distinctive red backlight that can be used as an additional running light while driving! The backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing a more unique and modern look than the small indicator LEDs found in other products.

SafetyStrobe 4th Brake Light. The C1R option features a high-power red function to serve as a powerful 4th brake light, along with the low-power running light. The high-power red functionality activates anytime you apply your brakes, adding a 4th brake light to your vehicle.

The C1R also features optional brake light strobing. By default, the C1R will flash three times anytime the brake lights are applied, for greater visibility. The SafetyStrobe feature can be easily disabled if desired.

Everyday Operation. This kit is completely plug-and-play with all 7-pin trailer connectors. The included harness plugs right into your factory trailer hitch wiring for easy installation and operation. The kit operates as an additional red running light with your tail lights, and then automatically switches to a high-power backup light when your vehicle is in reverse. The high-power 4th brake light feature included with the C1R will activate anytime you apply your brakes. If you would like to have override functionality to manually turn on the reverse light anytime, you will need to purchase the universal backup harness.

If your trailer connector is not 7-pin, this kit will still work for you but will require slight modification to the harness.

Simple Installation. The patent-pending snap-fit design allows you to install this mount in minutes, without any drilling or need for a hitch pin. Simply insert the HitchMount into your trailer hitch receiver and the snap-fit side mounts will snap into place. Installation couldn't be easier and takes less than five minutes!

This kit is ideal for anyone who uses their trailer hitch often since removal can be done in minutes as well! Simply unplug the harness, press the snap-fit pins and remove the mount. When you're not using your hitch for towing, you can quickly reinstall the HitchMount and plug it back in.

Focused. Traditional optics like reflectors or simple lenses lose light internally and to glare, so not all of the light shines on target. Instead, the custom-engineered TIR optic in our Stage Series pods collects all of the light from the LED, and directs it only where you need it, drastically reducing glare and improving total efficiency. Click here to learn more: Total Internal Reflection (TIR) Optics | Stage Series Video.

From there, while other options on the market lose as much as 10% of the light output shining through an outer lens, the custom-molded TIR optic in the Stage Series LED pods serves as both the optic and main lens for greater efficiency and light output (patent pending). Thanks to this innovative feature, when coupled with high-intensity LED chips, the total intensity of our pods is much greater than other LED pods using basic optics or reflectors with a standard outer lens.

Functional Output. All Stage Series beam patterns were designed with optical simulation modeling, to shape the output in a highly-functional beam pattern.

Flood pattern was designed to provide uniform, even illumination with a full 50x50 degree spread of light on the SSC1 LED pod. Unlike generic "flood" lights that are simply a heavily diffused spotlight, our flood pattern uses pillow optics on the outer lens surface, to provide a true optically designed spread, for even illumination throughout.

Proven Reliability. Stage Series LED lighting has been extensively tested for long-term operation from -40 to 185 degrees F, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing. All of these tests are completed to SAE standards, just like factory components. They've also been put to the test on-road by racers and enthusiasts alike.

Experience. After over a decade in business, Diode Dynamics is one of the most trusted names in automotive LED lighting. We directly assemble and engineer an increasing number of products in the United States, allowing for higher quality and performance, with the newest and brightest LED technology. No matter what you're driving, we pride ourselves in offering only the best possible LED solutions. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss your lighting project!

Cool, too bad the Bronco trailer hitch is still a constraint for new builds. It's the one thing I compromised in placing my (still to be built) order.

That's how the system works. MSRP is $100 and Diode lets dealers advertise 5 cents off as the lowest. Just how it works with them

Insulting really
Ehh what can ya do. Baja Designs is MSRP. Dealers used to get to advertise 10% off but a few years ago they made the decision to do MSRP as the lowest price.

Rigid is the same way. A LOT of manufacturers have gone to an MSRP pricing guideline. Diode at least let's us do 5 cents off so in search engines it does help out.

If only Ford had that guideline.😂
Well now hang on. If you plan to install this on a Bronco the price is actually $149.95. I know the manufacturer says $100 but times are tough. I'm also going to need you to give me $139.95 as a deposit right now and you need to sign this piece of paper saying you won't go and re-sell this.

Ya know what... the 11/18 ETA is bogus too. Let's make that SOMETIME in 2023 maybe 2024...

How minor is the modification for a 4-pin harness? I know many of us dropped factory tow to get our bronco faster and added 4-pin harnesses.

When it’s plugged in, does it disable the backup and BLIS sensors?

It didn’t seem to slow mine down at all. I chose to add it back into my order and got a build date pretty quickly

The world is crazy right now or sure and some companies are taking full advantage of it
and that Will not be Forgotten !
if It were me I would just advertize @$100 rather than flip people off with here is 5 cents
just so you know how much we care LOL

At Least there are Other choices out there maybe not as good but there out there
