Kody lights are the brightest and most durable on the market providing peace of mind when using your rack.  Level up your safety to avoid accidents and stay safe on the road.
 
The rugged, highly visible Kody Technologies 16-inch LED Rack Light creates eye-catching tail, brake, and turn signals. The tail light turns on six of the twelve LEDs at partial brightness.  The LEDs animate or sequence left or right for turn signals.  And the brake light when activated turns on all LEDs to full brightness, overriding the turn signals.  Check out this YouTube Video showing the light in action.  The sequencing light does not play nicely with new Fords (2016+) and Teslas. We recommend going with a double light set up or reaching out to discuss.
 
This rack light is designed specifically for the 2" Hitch Yakima HoldUp and HoldUp EVO bike rack and works with the two bike rack and the bike rack extension.  The 1-1/4" hitch design does not have the mounting locations like the 2" hitch design.  The light will fit but a hole needs to be drilled through the rack to mount the light.

Installation Instructions (PDF)  ·  What the install actually involves
 
Be sure to check out our other Yakima Bike Rack Lights.  We also make a Medium (two 12 to 13" lights) and a Large (two 16" lights).  The doubles spread wider across the back of the rack, they're the sizes that offer built-in reverse lights, and they're what we'd point you to for a Tesla or a 2016-or-newer Ford.
 
Cable Lengths
We provide three cable length options.  The cable lengths include Short (70"), Long (116") and Extra Long (164").  The Short cable will work in most applications using a standard bike rack with up to four bike trays.  Please see our FAQ page for information regarding how to select the right cable length for your rack set up.  
 
Also check out our license plate holders and plate lights.
 
Rigid or Pivoting Light
We offer both Rigid or Pivoting light options.  A rigid light is primarily used with the bike rack in the down position for when bikes are loaded.  The light is bright and has some effectiveness in the stored position. 
 
The Pivot design allows you to rotate the light fixture for use in both the up / stored position as well as the down / bike loaded position.  This design a friction hinge and does not require any locking mechanism to hold it in place.  To position the light just push or pull the light into the desired position.
 
The pivot option might be substituted pending inventory availability.  If you have questions regarding these pivots please reach out to us or check out our Pivoting FAQ.  Also, if you prefer one design over the other please let us know and we can ship your preference.  
 
Vehicle's Connection
Choose between a standard Four Pin or Seven Blade trailer connector.
Four Pin: Powered by a standard flat 4-pin connection. Powers tail lights (including plate lights if added), turn signals and brake lights.
Seven Blade: Upgrades to a heavier duty cable and jacket, a 7-blade connector with 8 internal conductors. This creates a clean finish and eliminates the need for adapters.
Not sure which connector your vehicle has? See our Trailer Wiring & Connector Guide for help.
 
License Plates
We have four options for plate holders and a plate light.  Please see the list below to understand each option.  For more information on our plate options please check out License Plate Holders and Plate Lights.  The plate holder varies between the different main trailer light set up.  
No Plate Accessory: I just want my light and nothing to do with any license plate holders.
Plate Light Ready: Adds a plate light electrical connection to the main cable, ready for a future plate light upgrade. No plate holder is included with this option.  This option is included at no extra cost with the seven blade connection, which already carries the plate light connector.
Plate Holder - No Light: Plate holder with no electrical connection or light. This includes a bracket mounted to the main light which provides a license plate mounting location and plate mount hardware.
Plate Holder with Light: Plate holder with plate light. This includes the plate holder mentioned above as well as a second bracket to install the plate light, integrated cable wiring and the plate light.
