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. All screws and mounting hardware are stainless steel.
This rack light fits Swagman bike racks including the E-Spec, Quad 2+2, Semi 2.0 and 4.0, Current, Dispatch, Escapee and Chinook. It has not been tested on the Swagman Pro Series (E-Spec Pro, Current Pro and Escapee Pro). Please contact us if you have a Pro rack or any other questions about your application.

Installation Instructions (PDF) · Video Installation · What the install actually involves
Be sure to check out our other Swagman 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 Length
Every Swagman light comes with a 70" cable. It's sized for Swagman racks, so there's nothing to choose. It runs from the light, along the rack, to your vehicle's trailer plug.
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.
