2024 Tacoma Stage Series Ditch Light Kit | Diode Dynamics 6t527v9

Perfect fitment. The Stage Series Backlit Ditch Light Kit for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma allows you to easily mount two SS3 or SSC2 Backlit Pods above the hood. These application-specific brackets were CAD-designed to install using factory mounting points. No cutting or drilling required! This kit features a low profile design while minimizing glare, and will not interfere with raising or lowering the hood.

Built to last. The brackets in this kit are constructed out of thick-gauge stainless steel. Unlike other options made out of mild steel, these brackets are full stainless steel and won't corrode over time. With their thick-gauge construction, you also won't experience any vibration or bouncing while driving.

Focused. Traditional optics like reflectors or simple lenses lose light internally and to glare, so not all of the light shines on target. Instead, the custom-engineered TIR optic in the SS3 and SSC2 collects all of the light from the LED, and directs it only where you need it, drastically reducing glare and improving total efficiency.

From there, while other options on the market lose as much as 10% of the light output shining through an outer lens, the custom-molded TIR optic in the SS3 and SSC2 serves as both the optic and main lens for greater efficiency and light output (patent pending). Thanks to this innovative feature, when coupled with high-intensity LED chips, the total intensity of the Stage Series Pod is much greater than other LED pods using basic optics or reflectors with a standard outer lens.

Functional output. All Stage Series beam pattern options were designed with optical simulation modeling, to shape the output in a highly-functional beam pattern. No matter what your auxiliary lighting needs are, there is a Stage Series optic for you!

Output Example: (1) SS3 Pro Combo LED Pod

Combo combines both the Driving and Flood optics. The SS3 shines light downrange in a focused, rectangular 65x25 degree pattern, while the SSC2 shines light downrange in a 40x20 degree pattern. The combo lens features a flood optic on one side and a driving optic on the other.

For states that require them, we also offer snap-on covers for your SS3 and SSC2 Pods. These covers are available in a variety of colors and keep your Stage Series Pod clean and protected from dirt, dust, or whatever else the road throws your way!

White or Yellow. All Stage Series LED pods are available in a cool white or selective yellow color. The white is a 6000K color temperature, which is a true cool white output, and matches most factory LED lighting. The selective yellow is a 3000K color temperature, great for high contrast in poor weather or a distinctive look on the road. We also offer replacement lenses that allow you to change the color or optic of your SS3 or SSC2 Pods.

Sport or Pro. Stage Series LED pods are available at two different power levels. Both options use high-intensity LED emitters, and TIR optics for unmatched focus and overall output. However, the Pro option is double the amount of total power.

Backlight Functionality. Both the SS3 and SSC2 pods included in our Stage Series Ditch Light Kits feature a brilliant Amber backlight. This integrated backlight gives you an additional accent light, along with the main beam. The backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing a more unique and modern look than the small indicator LEDs found in other products. To power the backlight, use the included harness to tap your desired vehicle function.

Our SSC2 LED pod configuration is a popular choice for members who prefer a lower-profile style.

Any wiring options to utilize the factory pigtails to function with the OEM Aux switches on the higher trims?

Great question!

2024 Tacoma Stage Series Ditch Light Kit | Diode Dynamics 1713878203572


This kit includes our Heavy Duty Dual Output 4-pin Wiring Harness.

This harness includes an OEM aux switch adapter wire that allows you to control your lights using a factory-installed aux switch bank. Two switches will be used - one for the main beam, and one for the backlight. For those who don't have the aux switch bank, you will use the included toggle switch adapter wire to mount a switch.

I’ve always been a Baja guy but I’ll have to give DD a shot sometime to compare.

Thanks for the quick response!

Thanks for the post! Just ordered up some DD SS3 Pros for my Hybrid Tacoma. Since I don’t have a standard battery in the engine bay, where would I pull power from for these ditch lights? Should I use the driver side fuse box and tap into the positive connector in there? Any assistance or info would be greatly appreciated.
cheers!
Ryan

Thought the aux circuit provided the power and different amp per wire color? I have not used mine yet but that's how it worked in the Bronco. thick white/black is ground, black is 15amp, green is 10amp, white is 5amp,

The Aux 1 (A) switch is a 15amp circuit that can be used to directly connect to the lights without messing with relays and additional wiring.

Yes, there is currently a backorder on dozens of products. To be transparent, we launched our sale on 11/22, and on the first day alone, we sold $500K worth of our US-assembled inventory. The sale, which ran through 12/3, was our biggest and final event of the year, and it went viral across the automotive lighting industry, resulting in the majority of our products selling out.

We’re actively working on restocking supplies, running production, assembling, packaging, and fulfilling pending orders as quickly as possible to shorten the projected wait times. Thank you for your understanding—we take pride in being the only manufacturer assembling the majority of our products right here in the US.
