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.
Note
Features
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.

INSTALLATION
This is a fantastic kit that comes with literally everything you need. The lights are awesome. The mounts and brackets are also particularly nice because they’re open—you don’t have to completely unbolt your hood, you just loosen it up and slide in the bracket, and tighten back down. I was able to do that by myself!
If you decide to purchase a separate switch (I got the CaliRaised Amber/White two-button switch), keep in mind that you will snip off the connector that comes with this wiring harness and butt splice (or solder) the red/yellow/blue wires to specific wires on the switch. Andy (the owner) told me the exact wiring needed and it worked like a charm! You’ll need a red t-tap connector if you want said button to light up in the dark too (use a multimeter to find power in a neighboring stock switch and t-tap into that).
Product is great, customer service is even better! Hassle free transaction and fast shipping! What else can you ask for?
YotaWolf always delivers with the best prices and quick deliveries. Diode Dynamics lights are great looking on and off and easy to install and impressive power.
