Kody lights are the brightest and most durable on the market providing peace of mind when using your bike rack.
 
The rugged, highly visible Kody Technologies 16-inch LED Rack Light creates eye-catching tail, brake, and turn signals. The tail light turns on six of the twelve LEDs at partial brightness.  The LEDs animate or sequence left or right for turn signals.  And the brake light when activated turns on all LEDs to full brightness,overriding the turn signals.  Check out this YouTube Video showing the light in action.  The light integrates cleanly on your rack and uses a standard 4-pin or 7-blade trailer connector for easy installation.  
 
This rack light is designed specifically for the Kuat NV 1.0, Kuat NV Base 2.0 and Kuat NV 2.0 bike racks (both with and without the bike service stand).  Please see the two product images showing the difference between versions 1.0 and 2.0 to make your selection for that option.  Check out our other Kody lights for Kuat Racks.  
 
Cable Lengths
We provide three cable length options.  The cable lengths include Short  (5'), Long (9') and Super Long (13').   Each cable measures a bit longer than the foot length shown.  The Short cable will work in most applications using a standard bike rack with up to four bike trays.  Please see our FAQ page for information regarding how to select the right cable length for your rack set up.  
 
Vehicle Connections and Reverse Light
For this option, choose between a standard four pin and a standard seven blade connectors.  The four pin connection powers tail lights (including plate lights if added), turn signals and brake lights.   Upgrading to the seven blade option adds a heavier duty cable, the seven pin connector and licence plate light connector (we call it plate ready).  Choose the correct connection to eliminate the need for adapters and prepare for future upgrades.  Seven blade is required for reverse lights.   
 
Select No Reverse Light or Add Reverse Light. The light bracket is designed to hold two lights which will be powered from the main cable two pin connection and a two pin splitter.  
 
Rigid or Pivoting Light
We offer both Rigid or Pivoting light options.  A rigid light is primarily used with the bike rack in the down position for when bikes are loaded.  The light is bright and has some effectiveness in the stored position. 
 
The Pivot design allows you to rotate the light fixture for use in both the up / stored position as well as the down / bike loaded position.  We have two different pivot designs.  One uses a friction hinge and does not require any locking mechanism to hold it in place.  We recommend and ship this friction hinge on applications without licence plate holders.  To position the light just push or pull the light into the desired position.
 
The second design uses a mechanical hinge and thumb screw locks.  We recommend and ship this design for all applications with license plate holders.  To position the light just loosen the clamps, pivot the light into the desired position and tighten the clamps.
 
The pivot option might be substituded pending inventory availability.  If you have questions regarding these pivots please reach out to us or check out our Pivoting FAQ.  Also, if you prefer one design over the other please let us know and we can ship your preference.  
 
License Plates
We have three options for plate holders and a plate light.  Please see the list below to understand each option.  For more information on our plate options please check out License Plate Holders and Plate Lights.  The plate holder varies between the different main trailer light set up.  
No Plate Accessory: I just want my light and nothing to do with any license plate holders.
Plate Holder - No Light: Plate holder with no electrical connection or light.  This includes a bracket mounted to the main light which provides a licence plate mounting location and plate mount hardware
Plate Holder - With Light: Plate holder with plate light.  This includes the plate holder mentioned above as well as a second bracket to install the plate light, integrated cable wiring and the plate light.  
 
Configuration and Pricing Note: The total light set up pricing will not populate or update until you have made a selection for all options.  Once the selections are completed and the price is updated you can adjust your selections one at a time to see how the price varies.
