NEW PRODUCT | Diode Dynamics HitchMount LED Pod Reverse Kit

[8oncoPete]

I love the ease! Will be picking one up for sure. However, if it's a minute install it is also a minute removal which means it will be prone to theft. Wish there was a way to lock the unit into the hitch.

The world is crazy right now or sure and some companies are taking full advantage of it
and that Will not be Forgotten !
if It were me I would just advertize @$100 rather than flip people off with here is 5 cents
just so you know how much we care LOL

At Least there are Other choices out there maybe not as good but there out there

What do you mean, flip people off??? It's called MAP (Minimum Advertised Price). Diode Dynamics MAP is $0.05 under MSRP price.

So our system lists the MSRP price and the MAP (price). That's how the database works. We don't control the price. Diode Dynamics (the manufacturer) sets the price.

You're basically saying there are other choices because... the MAP is $0.05 off MSRP??? I don't understand that at all.

When it’s plugged in, does it disable the backup and BLIS sensors?

No it should not. On my Lightning using these harnesses doesn't disable anything. As I back up it still yells at me (HEY STOP YOUR GOING TO HIT THAT WALL!) My Bronco doesn't have a trailer hook up so I can't test anything.

Correct. These are not the same as the SSC1. They are a slightly smaller product to fit within the hitch. So you can't actually swap in an SSC1 it'll be too big (I asked... I wanted to just stock the harness and hitchpod itself since we already stock SSC1, but I was told the hitch pod C1 is a different size)

If you want a Guinea Pig, I'll pop it on mine to see. I'm available today and Monday afternoon. I want to have a look at getting my Pod lights updated with one of those I recently got there.

Not sure what you mean? The SSC1 is larger then the HitchPod light.

What if you dropped the tow kit but have a receiver? Any chance 4x4TruckLEDs might cook up a harness that doesn't use the trailer plug?

Well... you can always tap into your brake light if you don't have a harness. Anything is possible. We don't plan to do anything custom with harnesses, as it takes a while to do custom work.

We already offer reverse kits that let you turn them on from an upfitter OR automatically in reverse. But that's just reverse only (taps into the brake light wire).

We're going to be releasing (within the next few weeks) our new reverse kits that allow you to do an SSC1 or SSC2 under the bumper with the red brake back-light activation. That will of course require the trailer connection since we're using that harness.

2 seperate items:
1) If you'd like to have a real-world test, We can try the Hitch light on my Factory Tow installed Bronco to see if the Backup and BLIS Sensors still work.

2) While I'm there, I want to look at installing these:

They do work. Diode tested them on a Bronco (the product is not released yet, we don't have it here yet). But when they do come you are more then welcome to stop by and we'll throw a set on. It takes about 1 minute to do. SUPER simple.

We can certainly take care of installing the lights you got from us. Which ones are those? Reverse lights and Pod lights im assuming??

Shoot me a message to setup an appointment.

You’d likely have an immediate sale from me if there were a before-and-after comparison shot of the overall reversing light output.

I’m a big fan of Diode Dynamics, my pocket fog pros have served me very well this past summer.

Well now hang on. If you plan to install this on a Bronco the price is actually $149.95. I know the manufacturer says $100 but times are tough. I'm also going to need you to give me $139.95 as a deposit right now and you need to sign this piece of paper saying you won't go and re-sell this.

Ya know what... the 11/18 ETA is bogus too. Let's make that SOMETIME in 2023 maybe 2024...

Will you guarantee us 2022 price protection when these ship in 2042?

 

[mcon33]

Pre-Ordered. Thank you.
