Kody Lights for Swagman Bike Racks

Light kits for Swagman hitch racks — E-Spec, Quad 2+2, Semi 2.0 and 4.0, Current, Dispatch, Escapee and Chinook. Brackets bolt to your rack's own hardware — no drilling and no modifications.

Small — one 16" bar   ·   Medium — two 12–13" lights   ·   Large — two 16" lights

Driving a Tesla or a Ford? Choose a Medium or a non-sequencing Large — see what works on your vehicle.

Which Swagman rack do you have?

One bracket set covers the whole Swagman line we support, so you don't need to pin down your exact model before you order.

It fits the E-Spec, the Quad 2+2, the Semi 2.0 and 4.0, the Current, the Dispatch, the Escapee and the Chinook — including the older versions of those racks still out on the road. Swagman racks last a long time, and plenty of the ones we ship to are a good few years old.

Choosing your size

Our sizes describe the light fixture, not the rack.

Small — one 16" bar with sequential turn signals.
Medium — two 12" or 13" lights.
Large — two 16" lights.

For a two-bike Current or Chinook, Small does the job and is the cleanest look. On a Quad 2+2 or a Semi 4.0 the rack is wider than the bar, and Medium or Large covers it properly.

Two reasons to size up even on a two-bike rack. The Small bar shares its bulbs between the brake light and the turn signal, so braking overrides the signal — we suggest signalling before you brake. And reverse lights are only available on the double fixtures.

Driving a Tesla or a newer Ford?

Choose a Medium or a non-sequencing Large. Tesla and 2016-onward Ford electronics interfere with the sequential sweep, so a sequencing light won't animate properly on those vehicles. Everything still works, you just lose the animation. Here's what happens and the two ways to fix it.

Lights flickering, or a warning on the dash? That's a different problem — here's what causes it on newer vehicles.

Don't see your rack?

Swagman also makes the Skaha and the XTC series, and we don't currently build a bracket for those. Our universal lights mount to almost anything using straps or U-bolts, and that's the right answer there.

Same goes for any Swagman we haven't listed, or a rack from another brand entirely — send us a message with your rack model. I'd rather get you the right light than the nearest one.
