Hitch Mount Reverse Light - Diode Dynamics

[Rebel2RHO]

Has anyone installed one of these?

Two options C1 (reverse light) or C1R+brake (reverse light and brake light).

Curious on feedback and if the C1R+brake requires the additional T-tap.

I have their ss2 installed or something like that. It's like this but double lights on each side. Had to modify bracket to fit on tow hook. Works great with their trailer kit just plug and good to go. Don't have option for flashing break lights so not sure. I wanted to make sure I go with trailer kit because already have only 2 aux switches left so didn't want to run there and also didn't want to tap into any rear lights connections.

Thanks for the info. I had a similar set up as yours on my last truck with Baja designs. I like the plug and play feature of this as well. Did you need to drop the spare to install or was there enough space to get to the trailer connector?

No I did not had to drop the spare. It was a little tight to get factory trailer connector off but managed within few minutes. And the bracket all I had to do was drill bigger hole so it fits factory recovery hooks bolt.

Don't do it ! I tried to transfer the one I had from my old truck. Caused trailer warning lights on the truck. Functionally, the light worked perfectly. But it was annoying seeing the trailer warning lights when there was no trailer attached. I think our trucks are pretty sensitive to any kind of voltage draws, so it sensed the hitch light very minor draw and assumed a trailer was attached.

In the end, I took it off and gave it to a buddy.

I wonder if it's due to having flashing brake lights ? I'm running regular ones for 4 months already and zero errors and truck doesn't even think trailer is connected.

Probably, forgot to mention I had the one with the “flashy” 4th brake light flashing feature
