HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit
3-in-1 Hitch Light Upgrade
Give your rear-end the lighting performance it deserves. The Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit delivers three powerful lighting functions in one clean, compact setup — designed to fit any 2-inch or 2.5-inch trailer hitch receiver.
With the SSC1 or C1R Stage Series LED Pod, this kit activates as a high-output reverse light, a bold red running light, and (with the C1R) an optional 4th brake light with SafetyStrobe™ technology. Whether you’re navigating off-road trails or backing into tight driveways, this all-in-one solution makes sure you’re seen, safe, and in control.
⚡ Key Benefits at a Glance
✅ Blazing Reverse Light Output
Over 1,000 lumens of focused white light with patented TIR optics — several times brighter than factory bulbs. Back up with confidence, even in complete darkness.
✅ Clean Red Running Light
The red backlight fully illuminates the lens for a modern, OEM+ appearance that enhances visibility and rear presence while driving.
✅ C1R SafetyStrobe 4th Brake Light
Boost your brake signaling with a bright red 4th brake light and an optional triple-strobe for added attention on the road.
✅ Engineered Snap-Fit Mounting
Install in under 5 minutes — no drilling, no hitch pin, and no wiring mess. The snap-fit design locks the pod in place and removes just as easily.
✅ Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Harness connects directly to your 7-pin trailer connector. Includes optional red brake wire for smart-trailer-equipped vehicles.
🇺🇸 American-Assembled Durability
This isn’t your average LED pod. The HitchMount is engineered and assembled in the USA, tested to SAE durability standards, and backed by a lifetime warranty. It’s built to handle -40°F winters, 185°F summers, rain, mud, snow, and trail abuse — just like your truck.
Each pod is IP67 waterproof and constructed with a polycarbonate lens, aluminum housing, and pin-fin passive cooling for maximum longevity.
