Description

Diode Dynamics Stage Series Reverse Light Kit for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Upgrade rear visibility on your 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma with the Diode Dynamics Stage Series Reverse Light Kit. Designed specifically for the third-generation Tacoma, this complete lighting system mounts two Stage Series LED pods underneath the rear bumper, providing powerful white reverse lighting along with an integrated red accent light.

Available with your choice of C1 or C2 2.0 LED Pods in Sport or Pro output levels, this kit lets you select the lighting performance that best matches your Tacoma build.

Four Configurations Available

Choose from four Diode Dynamics Stage Series configurations:

  • DD7159 – C1 Sport
  • DD7160 – C1 Pro
  • DD7161 – C2 2.0 Sport
  • DD7162 – C2 2.0 Pro

Whether you’re looking for the compact packaging of the C1 or the larger C2 2.0 platform, Sport and Pro options make it easy to select the appropriate performance level for your truck.

Powerful Reverse Lighting

Factory reverse lights can leave significant areas behind your truck difficult to see at night. The Stage Series Reverse Light Kit adds two dedicated LED pods underneath the rear bumper to provide substantially more usable illumination while backing up.

This additional lighting is especially useful when reversing at night, navigating dark trails, maneuvering around campsites, or connecting a trailer in low-light conditions.

Integrated Red Backlight

The Stage Series LED Pods included with this kit feature a distinctive red backlight in addition to the primary white reverse beam.

During normal operation, the red backlight can function as an additional accent light alongside the Tacoma’s rear lighting. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the pods automatically switch to their high-power white output.

The backlight illuminates the TIR optic for a clean, modern appearance that integrates naturally with the rear of the truck.

Plug-and-Play Tacoma Integration

Diode Dynamics designed this kit specifically around the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma. A vehicle-specific adapter harness uses custom-molded OEM connectors to integrate with the factory taillight wiring.

This provides straightforward operation without cutting or splicing the factory wiring.

Once installed, the system can respond automatically to the Tacoma’s factory lighting and reverse signals for an integrated, factory-style experience.

Manual Override Control

An included toggle switch gives you additional control over the main LED pod output.

Instead of limiting the high-power white lights to reverse operation, the override allows you to activate the main beam when additional rear-facing illumination is needed.

This is particularly useful for tasks such as loading gear, setting up camp, working around the rear of the truck, or illuminating an area behind the vehicle.

Stage Series TIR Optics

Diode Dynamics Stage Series LED Pods utilize advanced Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics to collect and direct light efficiently.

Rather than relying solely on traditional reflectors, the TIR optical system is engineered to put usable illumination where it is needed while reducing wasted light and unnecessary glare.

Vehicle-Specific Rear Bumper Mounting

The included mounting system positions the C1 or C2 2.0 LED Pods underneath the Tacoma’s rear bumper for a clean, purpose-built installation.

The pods can be aimed after installation, allowing the beam position to be adjusted for the desired coverage behind the truck.
