    Diode Dynamics is excited to introduce our Stage Series Reverse Light Kit for the 2022 Toyota Tundra!

    Overview Video (Coming soon): https://www.youtube.com/diodedynamics

    [​IMG]
    This kit is available with our SSC1 Sport/Pro or SSC2 Sport/Pro LED Pods

    There's plenty of ways to add light behind your Tundra, but the new Stage Series Reverse Light Kit stands out with innovations in both function and ease of use. This kit includes an integrated red running light, and plug-and-play wiring harness, for trouble-free installation! Thanks to Stage Series TIR optic technology, this kit provides a huge amount of extra reverse light. The included switch allows you to toggle it on any time, or activate it automatically with your reverse lights, for a truly integrated solution.

    [​IMG]

    Plug and Play. Thanks to custom-molded OEM connectors, this kit is completely plug-and-play. The included adapter harness plugs right into your factory trailer hitch wiring for easy installation and operation. No cutting, drilling, or additional wiring needed! The kit operates as an additional red accent light, with your tail lights, and then automatically switches to a high-power backup light when your vehicle is in reverse. If you would like to have override functionality to manually turn on the main beam anytime, you will need to purchase the universal universal backup harness.

    In the Box:
    • Two (2) SSC1 or SSC2 Standard LED Pods
    • One (1) Trailer Reverse Light Wiring Harness
    • Mounting hardware
    • Installation guide


    Backlight Functionality. The Stage Series LED pods included with this kit feature a distinctive backlight in a vibrant red color which functions as an additional accent 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.

    [​IMG]

    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.

    [​IMG]
    SSC2 Pro LED Pods w/ Flood Optic

    Functional Patterns. 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 LED pod, and a 60x60 degree spread on the SSC2 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.

    Sport or Pro. Stage Series LED pods are available at two different power levels. Both options use high-intensity LED emitters, and TIR optics for unmatched focus and overall output. However, the Pro option is double the amount of total power. Click the Specifications tab to see more information!

    [​IMG]

    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.


    If you have any questions, we'll be more than happy to help!

    Installed mine last weekend! Super easy installation once I figured out how to disconnect the trailer lights connection from inside the bumper. I like the look and extra reverse light. I opted for the larger housing pod and the sport version vs. pro.

    Glad to hear the installation process went smoothly for you!

    The SSC2 configuration looks great on your Tundra.

    We hope you're loving them!

    I really like these but couldn’t get them to work on my 22’ Tundra. I bought the ss1 pro version. Even after DD sent me a replacement harness we still could not get them to work. Then they sent another replacement harness that was supposed to solve the problem but I received a single output harness which wouldn’t work with the two light set-up. Finally sent everything back frustrated after multiple weeks of troubleshooting. Maybe faulty lights??? Wasn’t offered replacement lights to try. Seeing this advertisement made me feel compelled to share my experience. Would be willing to try again as I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Spent $100 bucks on a license plate reverse light version that works well but I don’t care for the look.

    Cool . But. Appears they stick out quite a bit and look goofy IMO. dano, is it just the pic and they are more flush in person? Would love to have more rear light especially with override. Handy when hooking up trailers.

    The lights aren't much lower than the bed step or the trailer hitch. If I did serious off-road driving I'd have got the flush mount in the bumper version.

    Good morning!

    Unfortunately, this is the first time I've heard of this instance. Did you order directly from our team here at Diode Dynamics or an authorized Diode Dynamics retailer?

    I've spoken with our customer service team and they don't have any information in our system. Do you have an order number you can provide for us to look into this?

    We would love to resolve this issue, as the kit is a rather easy installation and shouldn't have any hiccups along the way with functioning properly.

    Additionally, I've informed our customer service team of your issue and are on standby to assist!

    314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Have a great Thursday!

    Thanks for the response. I ordered directly on your website and my order number was
    Your order # is: 2211113409. I was dealing primarily with Conner in customer service in trying to resolve. The RMA was (RT96090). Had several order numbers from the harness shipments trying to resolve the issue. Yea, I was perplexed as to why it wouldn’t work. The red accent light worked but it wouldn’t transition to white when put in reverse. The harness install is about as straight forward as it gets.

    Looks nice. Any plans for a kit similar to this for 14-21 Tundra? I have the hitch pod light now but something like this would be a better option

    Technically, if you can locate a factory mounting location or bolt underneath the rear bumper then you can bolt on Stage Series LED pods (C1, C2, SS3) of your choice thanks to the universal mounting bracket.

    https://www.diodedynamics.com/off-road-auxiliary-led/led-pods.html

    You wouldn't have a 7-pin connector but would use our Reverse Light Wiring Kit:

    [​IMG]
    This option allows you to use factory signal or override the factory signals due to the included toggle switch.

    https://www.diodedynamics.com/reverse-light-wiring-kit-w-running-light.html

    There is also the option to install a flush mount set of pods if you prefer using this wiring harness too!

    Maybe the point of my original message was missing it's mark. I had attempted to troubleshoot with your customer service directly over the course of several weeks and after several shipments of various replacement harnesses we still couldn't get the lights to work so I returned everything for a refund and ultimately bought another brand. As I referenced, I would be willing to try again if the initial problem has been proven to be resolved. I don't want to call into customer service as the issue was resolved with me finally returning for a refund. Frankly, customer service wasn't a great and responsive experience. Anyway, I'll move on as my experience with your company has proven to be quite painful despite really liking the design on your products.

    I had a similar experience on the stealth lightbar. I did a pretty big write up about, but it simply didn't fit. Lots of back and forth with a customer service person and finally just ended at "Well, thanks for the information. Good luck." Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth as they did absolutely nothing to try and make it right. Never even offered to ship a replacement to see if it was a one off issue.

    My customer service experience was essentially the same. Didn’t offer to send replacement lights just the harnesses. After installing the harnesses three different times I was over it especially when they sent a one light output harness for a two light system. I knew then I was just along for the ride and decided to end it. Shame, I really did like the design especially the two stage lighting system. Was exactly what I was looking for given my situation.

    Good afternoon,

    Do you mind providing me with your order number?

    I would be happy to coordinate with our customer service team and assure you're properly taken care of.

    This feedback doesn't represent the level of customer service held here at Diode Dynamics and is unacceptable.

    Looking forward to hearing back and helping you with this matter!

    Thank you.

    Just contacted Connor on our customer service team, he noted in the documentation his mistake of providing a single output harness instead of a dual. I understand your frustration with this mistake and excitement intially with our kit.

    If you're interested in any Diode Dynamics products in the future, please feel free to email johnc@diodedynamics.com and I will be more than happy to assist you with your Diode Dynamics experience.

    Thank you!

    Yes, happy to. I had ordered from Hotshot Off-road because your website has shown everything out of stock. The order number is
