Add significantly more light output when backing up at night with our Stage Series HitchMount Reverse Light Kit! This kit allows you to mount one SSC1 or C1R LED pod in your 2-inch trailer hitch receiver, adding a high-power reverse light, additional running light, and an optional 4th brake light with the C1R option. The included harness plugs right into your factory wiring for easy installation and operation.
Factory reverse lights just don't provide enough light output to back up at night confidently. By pairing our patented TIR optics with high-powered LEDs, the SSC1 and C1R included in this kit provide an additional reverse light that's several times brighter than stock bulbs alone. Plus, they automatically come on when the vehicle is put in reverse!
The Stage Series LED pods included with this kit feature a distinctive red backlight that can be used as an additional running light while driving! The backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing a more unique and modern look than the small indicator LEDs found in other products.
The C1R option features a high-power red function to serve as a powerful 4th brake light, along with the low-power running light. The high-power red functionality activates anytime you apply your brakes, adding a 4th brake light to your Colorado.
The C1R also features optional brake light strobing, which can be activated in 15-second intervals. By default, the C1R will flash three times when the brake lights are initially applied, for greater visibility. The SafetyStrobe feature can be easily disabled if desired.
This kit is completely plug-and-play with factory connections. The included harness plugs right into your factory wiring for easy installation and operation. The kit operates as an additional red running light with your tail lights, and then automatically switches to a high-power backup light when your vehicle is in reverse. The high-power 4th brake light feature included with the C1R will activate anytime you apply your brakes. If you would like to have override functionality to manually turn on the reverse light anytime, you will need to purchase the universal backup harness.
The patent-pending snap-fit design allows you to install this mount in minutes, without any drilling or need for a hitch pin. Simply insert the HitchMount into your trailer hitch receiver and the snap-fit side mounts will snap into place. Installation couldn't be easier and takes less than five minutes!
This kit is ideal for anyone who uses their trailer hitch often since removal can be done in minutes as well! Simply unplug the harness, press the snap-fit pins and remove the mount. When you're not using your hitch for towing, you can quickly reinstall the HitchMount and plug it back in.
If you would like to use a locking trailer pin to install this kit instead of the snap-fit pins, you can do so with a quick modification. Watch the video here: • How-To: HitchMount LED...

Would the C1R work on a 2003-2006 Expedition? I like the plug connectors used here because I don't trust myself to do wire splicing.

[@diodedynamics]

As long as you have a 7-pin trailer connector and a 2" receiver, this kit should work for your Expedition!

would this work on a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado WT

I bought one of these and the flood pattern creates a very bight hot spot on the pavement making it hard to see further away on my camera. I swapped in a wide patten lens and it works a million times better. I wonder why it isn't offered this way.

Sadly, the Wide optic is too bright to be road legal. With the C1R option, the brightness of the 4th Brake light is too intense for on road use at night. If this is being used for an offroad application, the wide optic is perfect!
