Diode Dynamics HitchMount C1R LED Pod Install and Review

Рет қаралды 7,087

Күн бұрын

Today we review and install a Diode Dynamics Stage Series HitchMount LED Pod, the C1R version, on my 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor. This is a super nicely made product that provides some great safety and function benefits for pretty darn cheap. Much better than the cheap, no-name versions of these with the brake functionality that you can find all over the internet. I will keep everyone updated on longevity and any issues, but so far so good, and I’m super happy!
Thanks for watching!

The one I purchased is the DD7422 Stage Series version. There is also a DD7420 version with an SSC1 Sport light, which I believe only is a reverse light and running light.

Just got this on a 2017 Tacoma but it doesn’t flash except for when I lock or unlock the truck with my key fob. Yes I have the CR1

Interesting - I'd definitely hit up the manufacturer for assistance with that one. Thanks for watching!

Bought one for my 2021 Toyota Tundra when they first came on the market. Have it installed and like it fine. Can never be too safe, and the quality is much better than continuing to throw money away on the cheap, plastic LED pods which stop working after 1-2 months. Nice video well done!

I agree 100%, the safety aspect is why I purchased mine. Thanks for watching!

I’m glad to see they are finally shipping. I’m expecting the dual kit, but glad to see it’s nice and bright.

Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm waiting on my second one for my other truck...still happy with this one for sure! Thanks for watching!

Do the turn signals have any affect on it? I installed a cheap Amazon light on my ‘22 pathfinder (also 7 pin) but had to buy an extra module to stop it from flashing with either turn signal. I’m thinking of upgrading after seeing your vid 👍

In my case, not at all. With newer trucks with more complex electrical systems, that may be a possibility, but I've not looked into the pinout of this at all to know that for sure. Thanks for watching!

Do all of your LED’s fire or light up? I notice where several are out in both the red and white modes on my unit. DD tells me this is perfectly normal, but it has me wondering.

@redonKiLaus Жыл бұрын

All of mine do on both this one and another that I got for my other truck. The lens does make it look like they're not all firing, but if you look at it straight on they are. Might be your issue, or you might've gotten a dud - I got one bad one out of the two I have. Thanks for watching!

Does this light send any error messages or trailer connected messages to dashboard?

Depends on the vehicle. For my particular truck, no. Thanks for watching!

Nothing in it's stock, unmodified form. You can snap the retaining tabs off and throw a hitch pin thru though, locking it in place. Thanks for watching!

You have a GEN1 Raptor so you don't have the cross traffic alert. For example, the current F150 has cross traffic alert. This light will disable cross traffic alert. Also, the rear back up light is not bright. It has something to do with the way it was wired. Diode Dynamics knows about these 2 issues and is working to fix them before shipping any more out.

@redonKiLaus Жыл бұрын

Interesting! Good to know for folks who have newer trucks. That would be a big con for me. I heard about the wiring issue, supposedly this doesn't affect this one that I received (from the very first batch) but I have another on order for my other Raptor and that one is delayed due to that defect per an email I got last week. Hope they get it sorted since I think it's a darn good product, mostly for the safety aspect. Thanks for watching!

Yes. And it's annoying as hell.
