Introducing the C2R—Compact Triple-Function Lighting | Diode Dynamics

[Diode Dynamics]

Meet the newest addition to our Stage Series lineup, the C2R LED Pod.

​

Built on the larger C2 2.0 platform, it combines the proven versatility of the C1R with a boost in performance and more mounting options. Whether it’s backing up, adding a chase light, or running as a 4th brake, the C2R delivers powerful, reliable lighting in a compact package.

​

With three fully integrated functions, the C2R is ready for anything. You get bright white output for reverse or work lighting, high-power red for brake or chase use, and a red accent running light for added visibility, all in one rugged, easy-to-install pod.

​

The C2R’s compact size and versatile mounting make it perfect for rear-facing applications. Install it on bumpers, roof racks, or bed racks to add powerful reverse, brake, or chase lighting right where it’s needed.

I'm still wondering why the C1R isn't available for 2024 Ford Maverick? I keep seeing all these advertisements and I navigate the site and just the C1 is available. Or mount it underneath which I prefer not to do.

The R adds red to the light outputs,

• Triple function: high-power white main beam, high-power red main beam, and low-power red accent light

There is both a bracket and flush mount option of them:

I appreciate your input, I did see those options available. I should have been more specific. I'm looking for the single, hitch mount C1R pod light. Only the C1 is available for the hitch mount application.

Have a write up on doing the C1R hitch light pod for running light, reverse, and 4th brake light that’s working for me on my 25. Only hitch (pun intended) is you have to have a seven pin connector ie 4k tow.

Thank you for the reply and the write up! Doesn’t look like too bad of an install. I'll have to put it on my list of to-do's lol

Would be great if DD could create similar for the 4pin connector on a 25, specifically Lobo.

The 4 pin connector doesn't have pins for reverse, or stop only connections. It only the 4 "pins" for:
1. Ground
2.Tail
3.Left Turn/Stop
4.Right Turn/Stop

I spent quite a bit of time adding wiring from the front turn-only circuits and the 3rd/Center High mount brake light. If you do this, I suggest using a powered light converted as the system is very sensitive to the change in load, increase (adding) or decrease (changing from incandescent to LED)

Seem like that could come from the taillights instead of the trailer connector.

 

[Hot Runr Guy]

Seem like that could come from the taillights instead of the trailer connector.

Except that neither of the taillights has a "stop only" function. That's why he used the 3rd high mount brake light as a signal source.

I would be OK without the brake light and just having running and reverse.

The Maverick’s electrical system isn’t able to support the additional power draw of the C1R. Because of that, the standard C1 is the only compatible option for this application.

Would be great if DD could create similar for the 4pin connector on a 25, specifically Lobo.

We actually have a project in development for a 4-pin harness designed for the HitchMount LED Pods. It would be plug-and-play for power and ground, with an additional lead for the reverse light function. That lead would still need to be tapped into the correct signal wire on the vehicle, since there’s no way to make a 4-pin setup fully plug-and-play.

Can you confirm if the C1 will work on 2025 specifically Lobo?

We don’t have a confirmed listing for the 2025 yet, as our engineering team hasn’t had one in for testing. That said, it should work if there haven’t been any major changes to the electrical system compared to the 2024.

To give you peace of mind, we offer free returns within 30 days of purchase. We’ll cover the return shipping and provide a prepaid label. So you’re welcome to order, test it out, and if you run into any issues, we’ll take it back hassle-free with no expense to you beside a couple minutes testing.

I’ll be your tester DM for contact info.
