Kody lights are the brightest and most durable on the market providing peace of mind when using your bike 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 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 use on the QuikrStuff Mach2 bike rack.
 
Instructions
Installation Instructions (PDF)  ·  What the install actually involves
 
Be sure to check out our other QuikrStuff 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.
 
Pivoting Light
The Pivot design allows you to rotate the light fixture for use in both the up / stored position and the down / bike loaded position.  This light's pivot design uses 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.
 
If you have questions regarding the pivot option please reach out to us or check out our Pivoting FAQ or contact us to discuss.
 
Cable Lengths
We offer 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.  
 
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, a 7-blade connector, and an integrated license plate light connection (plate ready). Eliminates the need for any 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.   
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.
 
With or Without a Mach2 Bike Ramp
We provide two options for the rack mount bracket.  
Without Ramp: Short Bracket to keep the light tucked up close to the bike rack.
With Ramp: Long Bracket for use with the Mach2 bike ramp.  This bracket extends the light position out past and under the ramp.  This allows the bike ramp to be loaded and unloaded with the light in place.  
 
Mounting Method
We have a couple mounting methods for this light.  This light installs using the same method as the bike tray add on but is centered between the tray mounts making space for the ramp when used.  The light can be clamped in place with either Voile Straps or Metal Hose Clamps with rubber shielding.  This mount is very rigid and holds the light in place very securely. 
Two Voile Straps:   The two 12-inch Voile straps allow for quick removal and relocation when adding or removing bike trays. 
Two Metal Hose Clamps:  The two metal hose clamps have a rubber coating to protect metal surfaces and to look nice.  This option creates a more secure and permanent install. 
If you're interested in both mount options you can also buy them separately on our Accessories page. 
 
We also sell metal locking clamps as a security measure to make if more difficult to remove the light.  Click this link to learn more and purchase these security brackets and hardware.  
 
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.
