Diode Dynamics Stage Series Flush Mount LED Reverse Light Kit – SSC1 / C2 2.0

Description

Diode Dynamics Stage Series Flush Mount LED Reverse Light Kit

Get significantly more usable light behind your vehicle with the Diode Dynamics Stage Series Flush Mount LED Reverse Light Kit. Designed for a clean, integrated bumper installation, this universal kit allows you to mount two Diode Dynamics SSC1 or C2 2.0 Flush Mount LED Pods directly into your rear bumper.

Each pod provides a powerful white reverse light along with a distinctive red accent light. The included universal wiring harness integrates the system with your vehicle’s lighting so the red accents can operate with the tail lights while the high-power white output automatically activates in reverse.

An included toggle switch also gives you manual control of the main beam whenever you need additional rear-facing illumination.

Integrated Flush-Mount Design

The Stage Series Flush Mount Reverse Light Kit installs the LED pods directly into the rear bumper rather than hanging them underneath it.

This creates a clean, low-profile appearance while positioning the lights where they can effectively illuminate the area behind your vehicle.

Flush frame gaskets, mounting hardware, and a drilling template are included to simplify installation.

Because this is a universal flush-mount kit, cutting and drilling of the bumper is required.

High-Power Reverse Lighting

Factory backup lights often provide limited usable illumination when reversing at night.

The two Stage Series LED pods add powerful rear-facing output for improved visibility when backing up in dark environments, whether you’re navigating a driveway, trail, campsite, or work area.

Once wired, the white main beams automatically activate when your vehicle is shifted into reverse.

Red Accent Backlighting

The Stage Series pods also feature a distinctive red backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic.

When connected using the included harness, the red accent lights can operate with your vehicle’s tail lights for a clean, modern appearance. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the system switches to the high-power white backup lighting.

Manual Override Function

Need light behind the vehicle without putting it in reverse? The included toggle switch allows you to manually activate the high-power main beam.

This functionality is useful for tasks such as:

  • Loading or unloading gear
  • Setting up camp after dark
  • Connecting a trailer
  • Trailside repairs
  • Working behind the vehicle
  • General nighttime illumination

Advanced TIR Optics

Stage Series LED Pods use custom-engineered Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics to collect and direct LED output into a functional beam pattern.

The TIR design reduces wasted light and glare compared with conventional reflector-based designs while efficiently directing illumination where it’s needed.

Wide Flood Beam

Both available pod options use an optically engineered Flood pattern designed for broad and even rear-facing illumination.

SSC1 Flood: 50° x 50°
C2 2.0 Flood: 70° x 45°

Rather than using a heavily diffused spotlight, the Flood optics are designed specifically to create consistent coverage across a wide area behind the vehicle.

Choose SSC1 or C2 2.0

SSC1 provides an ultra-compact flush-mount solution with a wide 50° x 50° Flood pattern, making it ideal for builds where mounting space and a discreet appearance are priorities.

C2 2.0 provides a larger 70° x 45° Flood pattern for drivers looking for increased lighting performance while maintaining an integrated flush-mount installation.

Sport or Pro Output

Choose between two Stage Series performance levels.

Sport offers an excellent balance of output and value for everyday auxiliary reverse lighting.

Pro provides double the total power for customers looking for substantially increased rear-facing illumination.

Both use high-intensity LED emitters combined with Diode Dynamics TIR optics.

Proven Stage Series Reliability

Stage Series lighting is tested for long-term operation in demanding automotive environments, including temperatures from -40°F to 185°F.

Testing also includes vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion to help ensure dependable operation on-road and off-road.
