Diode Dynamics Stage Series Backlit Ditch Light Kit for 4Runner (2025+)

The Diode Dynamics Stage Series Backlit Ditch Light Kit for the 2025+ Toyota 4Runner is designed to deliver powerful, functional auxiliary lighting with a clean, factory-style fit. This application-specific kit allows you to mount two SS3 or C2 2.0 Backlit LED Pods above the hood using factory mounting points—no drilling or cutting required. With a low-profile design that minimizes glare and preserves full hood operation, this kit is the perfect solution for trail visibility, cornering light, and all-around off-road confidence.

PERFORMANCE & LIGHT OUTPUT

Traditional reflector-style optics lose light to glare and inefficiency. Stage Series LED Pods use custom-engineered TIR optics that collect and focus nearly all available light directly where it’s needed. Unlike competing designs that lose up to 10% of output through outer lenses, the SS3 and C2 2.0 pods use a single-piece optic that functions as both the lens and reflector, delivering higher efficiency, improved beam control, and superior real-world visibility.

The Combo/Driving beam pattern blends distance and width for trail use, ditch illumination, and peripheral visibility—ideal for tight trails, high-speed desert runs, or nighttime overlanding.
