Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit - C1R

 

The Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit - C1R is built for customers who want hitch-mounted rear lighting with reverse, running-light, and brake-light function in a compact package. It gives customers a purposeful way to add Diode Dynamics auxiliary lighting while keeping the upgrade matched to the vehicle, the mounting location, and the lighting job at hand.

HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit centers on a C1R receiver-mounted pod that adds rearward light and an added brake-light presence behind the vehicle. The result is a lighting upgrade that feels intentional on the vehicle instead of looking like a universal add-on, with the hardware and lamp placement working together for a cleaner finished install.

The product is designed around trailer hitch receiver, making it useful for customers who want added visibility without changing the overall shape of the vehicle. That placement helps direct light where it is needed for dark roads, trail approaches, work sites, campsites, trailer hookup areas, and low-light recovery tasks.

Real configuration choices include 7-pin harness kit, No-harness kit, 4-pin reverse kit, Vehicle-specific kit and related lighting selections that let customers match the kit to how the vehicle is used. The choices focus on output, light color, beam behavior, wiring style, or kit layout rather than forcing every driver into one lighting setup.

Installation is supported by snap-in HitchMount design fits compatible receiver openings and connects through the selected trailer-harness setup. Customers should still confirm the selected vehicle application, bumper or receiver style, wiring needs, and lamp compatibility before installation so the final setup matches the vehicle and the intended lighting use.

Whether customers are upgrading for trail driving, work-site visibility, towing support, campsite setup, or a cleaner auxiliary lighting package, the HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit brings focused lighting function to the vehicle. Now Available at LEER!
