Plug-and-Play Installation

Upgrading your Toyota Tacoma reverse lights doesn’t require complicated wiring. The included trailer harness plugs directly into the factory 7-pin trailer connector for straightforward installation and operation.

This vehicle-specific design makes the Stage Series kit a clean way to add significantly more usable light behind your Tacoma.

Powerful Stage Series LED Reverse Lights

Diode Dynamics Stage Series pods use custom-engineered Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics to collect light from the LED emitters and direct it where it’s needed.

Instead of relying on a traditional reflector or basic lens, the TIR optic is engineered to reduce wasted light and glare while maximizing useful output. The optic also serves as the main lens, helping provide greater efficiency and focused illumination.

The result is powerful, functional rear lighting for backing up at night, navigating dark trails, connecting a trailer, or simply improving visibility behind your Tacoma.

Red Accent Backlighting

Stage Series LED pods feature a distinctive red backlight that illuminates the TIR optic. When activated, the red backlight functions as an additional accent/running light while giving the rear of your Tacoma a clean, modern appearance.

C1R Fourth Brake Light Functionality

The C1R option adds high-power red output that can function as a fourth brake light in addition to the low-power red running light.

When you apply the brakes, the high-power red function activates to provide additional rear visibility.

The C1R also features optional SafetyStrobe functionality. By default, the light flashes three times when the brakes are initially applied. The SafetyStrobe function can be disabled if desired.

Functional Flood Beam Patterns

Diode Dynamics Stage Series beam patterns are developed using optical simulation modeling to create controlled, useful illumination rather than a generic diffused spotlight.

The SSC1 Flood provides a uniform 50x50-degree spread, while the C2 2.0 Flood provides a wider 70x45-degree spread.

These optically engineered patterns distribute light evenly behind the vehicle for functional illumination where you need it.

Sport, Pro, or C1R

Choose the Stage Series configuration that best fits your Tacoma and lighting needs.

Sport: Powerful Stage Series LED output for an effective everyday reverse-light upgrade.

Pro: Delivers approximately twice the total power of the Sport configuration for drivers looking for maximum reverse-light output.

C1R: Provides slightly more power than the Sport configuration while adding high-power red output for fourth brake light functionality.

Proven Reliability

Diode Dynamics Stage Series LED lighting is extensively tested for long-term performance in demanding automotive environments.

Testing includes operation from -40°F to 185°F, along with vibration, moisture-intrusion, and corrosion testing performed to SAE standards.
