Kody lights are the brightest and most durable on the market providing peace of mind when using your RockyMounts 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 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 BackStage, HighNoon FC and MonoRail bike racks. On the HighNoon, the end cap needs to be removed or modified to fit with the light and there is an interference between the center beam welds to the tray mount and the light mount. The light can be installed with some additional spacers. Please contact us to discuss. This light will not fit on the Solo versions of these racks due to its length.

Installation Instructions (PDF) · What the install actually involves
Be sure to check out our other RockyMounts 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.
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.
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 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. To position the light just loosen the clamps, pivot the light into the desired position and tighten the clamps.
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.
If you have any questions please contact us and we can discuss in more detail.
Reviews
I noticed my current bike setup (semi deep wheels) was potentially blocking my braking and turn signals from my Rocky Mount bike rack on my Tacoma. After much research, located this company, with great reviews and the appearance of fixing my problem. Ordered, took about five days to arrive, and used once, but I can already tell traffic behind me can notice the light. Before, I felt people did not recognize the third brake light. Now, they can’t say anything about the brakes or turn signals. Thanks for a great product, functional, plenty of cord, flexibility, and filled a gap that was needed.
Excellent product and the light greatly improves visibility of the brake and turn signals when bikes are on the rack! We had an initial problem with fitment with our HighNoon FC bike rack but John was very responsive to our emails and helped us with a solution. Awesome support from a family business and I would purchase from them again!
Great product and a MUST have safety issue for anyone using a rear hitch mount bikke rack. I think rear hitch rack lights will become law one day cause its such a safety issue. Thank you Kody Technologies for a product that fits and works great.
Top notch fit and finish. It is very sturdy and once on, looks like it came with my rack. No looking like an afterthought like the other options out there. Very happy with my purchase, John and Michelle are awesome!!!
Cross-country driving at night…this gave us so much more piece of mind. Works great. Looks like it was a part of the rack all along. The sequential turn signal is an added style bonus. Install took minutes.
