How I Installed the Ultimate Cargo Light Upgrade: Bonus - Relay Wiring Guide - Diode Dynamics + Kuat

Product Link: Diode Dynamics Stage Series (via KUAT) → https://alnk.to/dWfi2f4 Relay Used in This Install: 4-Pin Relay + Harness → US Amazon: https://amzn.to/49TS6CW 4-Pin Relay + Harness → Canada Amazon: https://amzn.to/4431j8n Today I’m installing the Diode Dynamics Stage Series lights—the same lights used in the KUAT IBEX truck bed rack system, but also perfect as a universal lighting upgrade for any truck or bed rack setup. These compact, high-output lights perform incredibly well… as long as they get the power they need. Many factory cargo light circuits don’t supply enough current to reliably run both the OEM light and a Stage Series add-on. So in this video, I take the install further and show you how to wire in a 4-pin automotive relay to deliver clean, stable power straight from the battery while still using your original cargo light switch as the trigger. This video covers: Full Diode Dynamics Stage Series installation How KUAT integrates these lights into the IBEX rack Relay wiring diagram + step-by-step setup How to fix low-current factory cargo light circuits Clean wiring, mounting, and weatherproofing tips Final brightness and functionality demo Whether you’re running the KUAT IBEX, adding work lights to your truck bed, or just want reliable rear-facing lighting for camping, towing, or daily use, this setup gives you the performance Diode Dynamics intended.  @TheKuatRacks   @diodedynamics  If this kind of practical DIY and honest reviews is your thing, hit subscribe — I cover automotive upgrades, tech gear, and hands-on projects for real truck owners.
