The hitch-mounted pod lights are an easy way to increase visibility and brightness and brightness without changing out entire housings, disassembly, or unnecessary drilling into your truck. We found that both of these housings are fully plug-and-play as far as wiring goes. The only driller required is on the Baja Designs pod lights and it is just to secure the pod light to the hitch. Both pod lights offer a major increase to your reverse lights, but the Diode dynamics pod lights offer more. Their product allows the pod light to also function as a running and brake light with an integrated flashier module to ensure you're seen. We carry both products, order yours today with the links above!

Should also note that the tabs on the DD can be broken off to allow a locking hitch pin to be used. The light also sits flush in the receiver so it can't be forced out or broken. The Baja sits outside the receiver and someone with a pry bar can mess with it. It can also be damaged if something hits it.

FWIW I just installed the DD on my truck. It does seem like the cars behind me are keeping a larger distance since I installed the brake light. I think the flashing light is different enough that it gets people’s attention and makes them brake sooner. Or maybe put some their stupid phones while they drive.

That's great!

One issue with these hitch mounted lights that tap into the 7 pin harness for some trucks, is that it thinks you have a trailer attached and you keep getting trailer warnings. Diode Dynamics has a fix that uses an included wire that plugs into the harness then you have to route it up to tap onto the brake light wire. They also offer a way to stop the strobe when you first hit the brakes if you don't like the strobe feature. Another thing, all these guys make it look easy to route the wire through the hitch, but if you have a hitch like mine, it is solid metal at the back, so you have to drill a 7/8" hole to get the wire in.

I went for the Diode Dynamics specifically for the that low mount brake light feature. I don’t plan on towing anything other than an off-road trailer with my new truck so the quick connection and disconnecting of that light makes it not so bad. If I want to tow I have my old 93 250 as a tow pig haha. Great comparison video. Also one thing to note is the Baja designs light was using a spot light lens while the Diode dynamics light was using a flood light lens so maybe do an update video swapping out the lenses and see how it compares after that. Could be interesting

Diode Dynamics needs to sell the Hitchpod in their Wide optic instead of the Flood optic. Also im curious to see how that Morimoto Boost Bar compares to the newer V-LEDS Reverse bar which uses fewer led chips that are supposed to be more powerful.

Maybe we'll do a comparison video one day!

@wantsanewvehicle 8 ай бұрын

I really imagine the vleds reverse bar is brighter, I mean they have the brightest turn signal bulbs out there with the v6 tritons so I couldn't imagine the reverse bar bring any different. I do like morimoto products, but..yeah.

@SRT8GSD 6 ай бұрын

I do agree it would be nice to be able to select which optic, BUT the lens can be swapped and that will allow you to change it.

@austinreading1 8 ай бұрын

I hate how DD uses this optic for the hitchpod. I use the wide optic for my truck and it’s much better. You do have to cut the bottom of the pod though, where it would normally mount on a universal bracket. The hitchpod pods have a cut out already to slide into the receiver. DD should definitely start incorporating different beam patterns to compete with BD!

I literally had this idea 10 years ago but never acted on it. Dang it!

@btslighting 8 ай бұрын

When did you guys buy this Hitchmount? That looks like the first batch that was then redesigned to be brighter and less blue.

@veteranveteran9915 8 ай бұрын

I love the idea of a hitch light The issues are run into is if you use a dedicated receiver like on a super duty that's 2 and 1/2 or 3 in I don't think these worked correctly and also on the new Fords if you plug something into that seven pin adapter underneath it like you're showing it gives you a fault code saying that the trailer is connected

@PuBearsticks 6 ай бұрын

That's been fixed on the newer model lights

@garcj108 5 ай бұрын

@HeadlightRevolution is the "short extension" harness you're connecting on a back something exclusive for this lights package? or is there a generic one i can purchase? I already have a light the connects that way and i would like to connect it from the back rather than on the front. Thank you!

We're using the wiring that came with each kit.

Would like to get the license plate light with a 7 pin plug and play connector. I don't want to do any wire stripping or soldering.

@wantsanewvehicle 8 ай бұрын

Won't work if you don't have a 7 pin connector? :'(

@rustystick 4 ай бұрын

I like the idea of having to use a hitch pin, I can then lock it in place..

@PTRRanger951 3 ай бұрын

You can lock both in place. The tabs can be cut and a pin put though. I have a locking pin on my DD.

Idk why someone needs an addition blake light, like there are already three. Why need a fourth?

I'll stick with my light bar that is under my tailgate (opt7).. don't need to remove it if I want to use the hitch, don't need a 7 pin connector (ford maverick), looks better than the little light in the middle, is brighter, and a little bit cheaper.

Diode Dynamics is the loser in this matchup

@PTRRanger951 3 ай бұрын

It maybe a loser for the backup portion but you are driving a lot more forward than you are backwards. And unless you live your entire life at night, you're only backing a small majority of the time at night. The DD offers brake lights and running lights, which is a lot better than just a back up light. I have had the DD for about 8 months now and can tell it gets peoples attention a lot better than I did without it. I even rewired my jet ski trailer to have two addition brake lights that are hooked to the same harness as the DD so when I am towing and the light is stowed, the plug ca still be used, and will give the trailer the quick flash stop lamps. They also stay illuminated when turn signals are on so I can have outer turn signals with solid non flashing brake lights on the trailer. Unlike most hitch mounted brake lights, this does not blink when a turn signal is on.
