Description Features Allows you to mount an SSC1 or C1R LED pod in any 2-inch or 2.5-inch trailer hitch receiver. Adds a powerful reverse light, 4th brake light, and additional running light. Snap-fit installation, with simple wiring. Optional SafetyStrobe brake light strobing. Made in USA with Global Materials. 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 or 2.5-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 4-pin trailer connector 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. And with a recent upgrade, the C1R LED Pod now delivers 68% more light output, providing even more output when backing up at night! Plus, it automatically comes on when the vehicle is put in reverse! Additional Running Light. The Stage Series LED pod included with this kit features a distinctive red backlight that operates 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 when the brake lights are applied, for greater visibility. When your parking lights are enabled, this feature will activate in 15-second intervals. The SafetyStrobe feature can be easily disabled if desired. Everyday Operation. The included wiring harness plugs directly into your factory 4-pin trailer connector, and features a wire tap to power the reverse light. 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. For manual override of the reverse light, a universal backup harness can be purchased separately. 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! If you would like to use a locking trailer pin to install this kit instead of the snap-fit pins, you can do so with a quick modification. Watch the video. 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.

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 and C1R 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.
