The Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit is Both a Reverse Light & Additional Running Light
If you strip your truck build down to the basics, the most important features that remain are those that keep you safe behind the wheel. Safety features are by far the most important to manage because without them, nothing else matters. You cannot appreciate all of the other bells and whistles from a hospital bed. Adding more safety features is always a great idea. If you have ever been hesitant to back up your truck in low visibility situations, then you need the Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit. It provides a high-powered C1R LED pod that shines from your factory trailer hitch. Not only can you utilize it as a reverse light, but also as an additional running light and 4th brake light. Rather than having to find a clever way to hook this light up to your truck’s power, this kit comes with a wiring harness that connects directly to your factory trailer hitch wiring. It is completely plug-and-play with all 7-pin trailer connectors. If you do not have a 7-pin, it will still work with a few modifications to the harness. There is no more trusted name in automotive lighting than Diode Dynamics because of how much pride they have for developing their LED solutions. This light is representative of their commitment to the highest quality and premium performance when assembling and engineering their LED technology.
Patented Total Internal Reflection (TIR) Optic
The Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit features the patented TIR optic with the high-powered C1R LED pod that supports your tail lights in providing much more light output when reversing your truck. The C1R LED pod is significantly brighter than your stock halogen bulbs and shines in a Flood beam pattern. This pattern uses pillow optics on the outer lens surface to provide the most wide spread and even illumination. Other flood lights would provide a diffused spotlight when the light shines from the outer lens. The custom-engineered TIR optic is able to collect all of this light and distribute it most efficiently, while reducing glare. It works as both the optic and main lens to provide this efficiency and maximize total light output. Other inferior lights with a traditional optic would lose as much as 10% of light output when shining through the outer lens. Beyond its premium performance, this light is built durably for the long haul. Each one is extensively tested for long-term operation from -40 to 185 degrees F, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing. It meets all the same SAE standards as factory components. When completing installation, the process should take no more than 5 minutes. There is no need for any drilling, a hatch pin, or custom wiring. All it takes is inserting the HitchMount into your trailer hitch receiver and the snap-fit side mounts will snap into place. If you eventually want to remove it, just unplug the harness, press the snap-fit pins, and remove the mount. Parts Included:
