If you're looking to add a touch of JDM flair to your Subaru WRX/STi without compromising on performance, you’ve hit the jackpot with the Stage Series C2R 4th Brake Light Kit. This isn’t just any upgrade; it replaces that bland trim piece on your USDM rear bumper with a high-performance C2R LED Pod, all snugly fit in a custom-molded bracket that keeps things looking clean and OEM. It’s like giving your ride a bit of personality while boosting functionality.
F1-Style 4th Brake Light: This kit isn’t just about looks. The C2R packs a serious punch with its high-power red brake light that kicks in every time you hit the brakes, effectively adding a fourth brake light to your WRX/STi. Plus, there’s an optional F1-style SafetyStrobe feature that flashes three times when you first engage the brakes. It’s a unique look that sets you apart on the road, and if you ever want to dial it back, you can easily disable the strobe feature.
Brighter Backup: Let’s face it—factory reverse lights can be pretty underwhelming. The C2R changes the game with automotive-grade, high-intensity LEDs and custom-engineered TIR optics, giving you a massive boost in brightness when you’re backing up at night. You’ll actually be able to see what’s behind you instead of just hoping for the best.
Additional Running Light: The C2R LED Pod isn’t just functional; it also looks good. It features a striking red backlight that serves as an additional running light. Unlike those tiny indicator LEDs you see elsewhere, this backlight fully lights up the TIR optic, giving your Subaru a modern, cohesive look on the road.
OEM Fit and Finish: Installation is a breeze thanks to the custom-molded bracket designed specifically for the WRX/STi. It mounts flush in the rear bumper, just like the JDM models, and the grained texture matches the surrounding trim perfectly. You won’t have to worry about any awkward gaps or mismatched finishes here.
Focused Output: Traditional optics can be a bit of a letdown, losing light to glare and inefficiency. The C2R’s patented TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optic is a game-changer, directing all the light right where you need it while minimizing glare. Plus, it’s designed to be both the optic and the main lens, which means you get more light output compared to those generic options out there.
Functional Output: Each beam pattern option in the Stage Series lineup is crafted with optical simulation modeling, ensuring you get a highly functional beam pattern. Whether you need a flood pattern or something else, there’s a Stage Series optic that’ll suit your needs perfectly. The flood pattern, for instance, is designed for even illumination with a broad 70x45 degree spread. No more uneven lighting—just solid, reliable output.
Plug-and-Play Installation: You won’t need to be a wiring wizard to get this kit set up. It’s designed for simple, plug-and-play installation. The included wiring harness connects directly with your tail light wiring—no splicing or cutting required. Just route the wiring to the bumper and mount the C2R with the provided hardware. Easy peasy.
Proven Reliability: We don’t mess around when it comes to durability. The Stage Series LED lighting has been rigorously tested for long-term operation in extreme temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees F, plus it’s passed vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion tests. It’s built to last, just like your Subaru.

Diode Dynamics started back in 2006 by Paul McCain. It started as a hobby. And using some parts from Radioshack, he was able to create some LED accent lighting which he sold to some of his friends.
From then on, the company kept on growing to offer more products and employ more people as they progressed. Today, the company is recognized as one of the most reputable LED light manufacturers in the market offering replacement LEDs, Full LED assemblies, multicolor accents and special unique modules.
From Importers to ManufacturersDuring its early days, Diode Dynamics was just rebranding LED lights from overseas, but as they realize, they could create something better. So from then on, they manufacture their own products and have moved into a bigger facility with their design engineer. The company has its own light tunnel to measure beam patterns and various testbeds that ensures that their product is durable to handle whatever weather condition it is subjected to.
Driven by their passion, Diode Dynamics has become the largest specialty application aftermarket lighting manufacturer in the US.

For modifications to wiring, electrical components, or connectors, our staff will assist as possible, but is trained to support problems that arise in the course of standard use, without modification. Product instructions and installation guidance should be followed as written.
