High-Power Yellow Chase Lights
Dust, fog, and low-light conditions can make vehicles ahead difficult to see on the trail. The Stage Series Chase Light Kit addresses this with two rear-facing C2 2.0 LED Pods producing a powerful yellow main beam.
The yellow output is designed to make your vehicle more visible to drivers behind you, making this kit an excellent addition to off-road, overland, desert, and trail-oriented builds.
Integrated Red Running Lights
In addition to the high-power yellow main beam, each C2 2.0 pod incorporates a low-power red backlight.
The red backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic and can function as a running light while driving or provide additional accent lighting when your vehicle is stopped. This gives the kit two useful lighting functions within the same compact pod design.
Stage Series C2 2.0 Performance
The included Stage Series C2 2.0 LED Pods combine compact dimensions with high-performance LED technology. Their small footprint makes them ideal for a bed rack installation while still delivering substantial usable output.
This next-generation design is particularly well suited for chase-light applications where visibility, durability, and a clean installation are priorities.
Wide 70° x 45° Flood Beam
The C2 2.0 pods feature Diode Dynamics’ optically engineered Flood beam pattern, producing a broad 70° x 45° spread.
Rather than creating a heavily diffused hotspot, the flood optic uses carefully designed pillow optics to distribute illumination smoothly across a wide area. This provides the broad rear-facing coverage desired from an off-road chase light.
Custom-Engineered TIR Optics
Diode Dynamics Stage Series lighting uses Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics to collect and direct LED output where it is needed.
Compared with conventional reflector-based designs, the TIR system reduces wasted light and glare while increasing usable illumination. The optic also functions as the main outer lens, helping maximize efficiency from the C2 2.0’s compact housing.
Designed Specifically for the Kuat IBEX
Rather than adapting a universal chase-light setup to your rack, the DD8442 is purpose-built for the Kuat IBEX Bed Rack.
The two LED pods mount neatly along the rear crossbar, creating a clean and integrated appearance. Bracket positioning and wiring accommodations are engineered around the IBEX platform, eliminating the need for custom fabrication or modification.
Built for Demanding Trail Conditions
Stage Series lighting is engineered for the harsh environments encountered by off-road and overland vehicles.
Diode Dynamics tests its Stage Series lighting for:
- Operating temperatures from -40°F to 185°F
- Vibration
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion
- Long-term operation
These tests are performed to SAE standards to help ensure dependable performance through demanding trail and weather conditions.
What’s Included
- Two (2) Stage Series C2 2.0 LED Pods
- One (1) Heavy-Duty Single-Output 3-Way 4-Pin Wiring Harness
- One (1) Dual-Output Extension Harness
- Six (6) Zip Ties
- Wire Retention Strip
- Mounting Hardware
- Installation Guide

Why Add Chase Lights to Your Kuat IBEX?
For trucks used on dusty trails, overland routes, or other low-visibility off-road environments, rear-facing chase lights add a useful layer of visibility.
The Diode Dynamics DD8442 Kuat IBEX Chase Light Kit combines powerful yellow output, red running lights, wide flood optics, and a purpose-built IBEX mounting solution in one complete package. It’s an ideal lighting upgrade for IBEX owners who want a functional installation that looks integrated with the rack rather than added on as an afterthought.
