Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink Universal Lightbar Kit

 

The Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink Universal Lightbar Kit turns individual SS5 LED pods into a connected lightbar that can be built for straight or curved mounting layouts. It is designed for customers who like the output and optics of SS5 pods but want a cleaner bar-style package for a roof rack, bumper, grille guard, or custom mount.

CrossLink technology uses rigid linking hardware to connect SS5 pods into a unified assembly. The system gives customers the flexibility to build a lightbar with the beam control of individual pods, while still achieving the visual impact and installation convenience of a single larger lighting system.

This universal kit range includes 3-pod, 4-pod, 5-pod, 6-pod, 7-pod and 8-pod lengths, with listed bar lengths from 18.5 inches to 50 inches. Pod count, hardware quantity, and harness pieces vary by selected configuration, so customers should choose the bar length that matches the available mounting room and desired lighting footprint.

Sport and Pro output levels allow customers to balance current draw and output intensity. Sport configurations use 40W main beam pods, while Pro configurations use 90W main beam pods. White 6000K and yellow 3000K color temperatures support different driving conditions, and driving or combo beam choices help tune the usable light pattern.

The linked SS5 pods use advanced TIR optics, pin-fin heatsinks, integrated Deutsch-style connectors, and durable powdercoated aluminum housings. The selectable backlight adds accent visibility on compatible configurations, while the main beam delivers the forward lighting performance customers expect from the SS5 platform.

Customers should confirm available room, hardware needs, and lighting goals before installation so the finished upgrade feels intentional on the vehicle.

Whether customers are upgrading for overlanding, trail work, open-desert visibility, or a configurable rack-mounted lightbar, the Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink Universal Lightbar Kit gives the build a flexible linked-pod lighting foundation. Now Available at LEER!
