    Diode Dynamics is excited to introduce our Stage Series SS5 Grille CrossLink Lightbar Kit for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma!

    [​IMG]

    Perfect Fitment. The Grille CrossLink Lightbar Kit for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma from Diode Dynamics allows you to mount four linked SS5 LED pods in front of the factory grille.

    These application-specific brackets were CAD-designed to bolt into place using factory mounting points on the factory bumper for simple installation.

    Designed for Performance. Featuring the highest output intensity of any 5-inch LED pod on the market, these auxiliary lamps have been designed for maximum functionality, with patented technology and custom-engineered TIR optics, all in a durable package.



    TIR Optics. Our optics were designed with advanced optical simulation modeling, to shape the output in highly-functional beam patterns with high efficiency.

    Selectable Backlight. The Stage Series 5" LED Pods included in the White kit feature a selectable backlight with eight different color options, perfect for an extra styling accent, or for more visibility when you’re not using the main beam. Selecting your backlight color is easy - simply alternate the power on and off. There’s no complicated programming with a controller! The SS5's backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing unique accent lighting that you won't find on other LED pods.

    NOTE: Due to the yellow lens, the Yellow kit is only available with an Amber backlight color.

    CrossLink. Our patent-pending CrossLink technology allows you to link up to eight SS5 pods together to create your own lightbar. Unlike other options on the market that use multiple pieces to link pods together, we have designed a single-piece CNC aluminum link. This provides extreme rigidity, but is fully adjustable, for both straight and curved configurations. And thanks to inset threaded mounts built-in to every SS5, there is no need to buy a special linking version of the SS5 for your setup.



    Functional Output. Stage Series beam pattern options were designed with advanced optical simulation modeling, to shape the output in highly-functional beam patterns with high efficiency.

    [​IMG]

    Combo pattern combines both the Driving and Flood optics, perfect for all-around use. It shines light downrange in a focused 30x20 Driving beam to punch with distance, and fills in the surrounding area to create a full 70x30 degree pattern. With a row of driving optics in the middle, and a flood optic on the top and bottom, this has been designed to provide extra light for every situation.

    [​IMG]

    White or Yellow. This kit is 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.

    [​IMG]

    Interchangeable Lens. Need a different beam pattern or color? You can swap it yourself! We offer replacement lenses that allow you to change the color or optic of your Stage Series SS5 Pods.

    [​IMG]

    Snap-on covers. For states that require them, we also offer snap-on covers for your SS5 Pod. These covers are available in a variety of colors and keep your SS5 Pod clean and protected from dirt, dust, or whatever else the road throws your way!

    Four (4) Application-specific heavy-duty steel brackets for installation on 2024 Toyota Tacoma
    Four (4) Stage Series 5inch LED Pods

    Proven Reliability. Stage Series LED lighting has been extensively tested for long-term operation from -40 to 185 degrees F, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing. All of these tests are completed to SAE standards, just like factory components. They've also been put to the test on-road by racers and enthusiasts alike.

    I like it but think it would be nicer if the 2 end lights could be canted 10 or 15 degrees outward.

    This looks sick, I assume it would work with the Low profile style bumpers?

    Thank you for your feedback! We'll pass it along to our engineering team. Just a heads-up, though the product design is complete and ready for order.

    The kit features our combo optic configuration, which utilizes a fusion lens—half driving for long-range, high-intensity focused illumination and half flood for excellent foreground lighting.

    We've tested the kit on both the stock bumper and the CBI Covert bumper so far. We'll keep updating our listing with more information as it becomes available!

    I really like this design. Will these lights be available separately? I have a 3rd gen, and could make a bracket to mount them similar to how you did on the 4th gen. I have a set of your ss3 sport fogs and love them. Keep up the good work!

    Do you have to remove factory bumper cover to install? And does it use or can it use the factory accessory switch plugs?
