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 for  bike racks with 2" tubing frames making it easy to clamp the bracket to the rack with the 2" U-Bolts.   This light fits a variety of different 1" to 2" square tubing frame bike racks including the Himiway E-Bike Hitch Bike Rack, KAC Hitch Bike Racks and some Swagman, Thule and Hollywood Racks.  
 
Please reach out if you want to know if this light will fit your rack or to ask any questions.  The images for this product show how the light mounts using the U-Bolts onto both Hollywood and Swagman racks.
 
Instructions
Installation Instructions (PDF)  ·  Video Installation  ·  What the install actually involves
 
Be sure to check out our other Universal 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 (112") and Extra Long (160").  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.  
 
Bracket Type and Pivoting
We have two different size brackets; one has a 6" length and the other has an 8.5" length (this is the total length of the bracket).  The 6" length comes with 2" u-bolts.    
 
We also have extension plates for the 2" u-bolt option which can be found in our Accessories Page.  
 
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 three 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.
 
Configuration and Pricing Note: The total light set up pricing will not populate or update until you have made a selection for all options.  Once the selections are completed and the price is updated you can adjust your selections one at a time to see how the price varies.
