The Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod is the easiest way to add a powerful reverse light, red running light, and optional fourth brake light — all in one compact, plug-and-play package. Now with a custom-molded adapter sleeve for 2.5-inch trailer hitches, it fits even more full-size trucks with Class 5 receivers.

What's New?
The HitchMount now includes an adapter sleeve for 2.5-inch hitches, opening it up to more full-size trucks and commercial vehicles. The premium C1R model also delivers a 68% boost in reverse light brightness over the previous version — now over 1,000 lumens of pure white output.
SSC1 vs. C1R
Both models include a bright red running light and a powerful reverse light. The upgraded C1R adds a fourth brake light function with an optional SafetyStrobe feature for added rear-end visibility and safety.
Easy Installation
Plug-and-play installation takes just minutes. The pod mounts directly into your trailer hitch and connects to your 7-pin trailer harness — no wiring, no extra switches. A DT connector cover is included to keep the plug protected when the pod is removed for towing. The pod locks securely with a snap-fit design, and you can add an optional locking hitch pin for extra security.
Advanced Vehicle Compatibility
An optional red wire can be tapped into your factory brake light signal to prevent false trailer warnings and dash alerts on trucks with trailer detection systems.
Durable and Guaranteed
Assembled in St. Louis, Missouri using quality components. Now backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
