Diode Dynamics DD8490 DEK Universal 47in x 50in 7-Pod SS5 Sport White Driving Roof Rack

The Diode Dynamics x Kuat DEK Universal Roof Rack (DD8490) is a 47" x 50" modular rooftop cargo and lighting system featuring a 7-pod SS5 CrossLink LED lightbar in a White Driving configuration. Custom-fabricated to seamlessly integrate Diode Dynamics lighting directly into the rack structure, this system delivers a clean, OEM-style appearance that stands apart from bolt-on aftermarket alternatives.

All-Metal, Adventure-Ready Construction

Built from durable yet lightweight all-metal materials, the DEK roof rack is engineered to handle demanding conditions — including support for rooftop tents and heavy overlanding gear. The rack features adjustable crossbars designed to clear antennas and sunroofs, along with generous T-channels throughout the frame for flexible accessory mounting. No drilling is required for installation, and the universal frame size is designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicles and crossbar configurations.

Key Features:

• 47" x 50" universal fit with five available frame sizes to suit a variety of vehicles
• Durable all-metal construction engineered to remain lightweight while supporting rooftop tents and heavy cargo

• Sport-level LED output using high-intensity, automotive-grade LED emitters and precision TIR optics
• Fully illuminated backlight with selectable multicolor backlight in eight colors when the main beam is off
• Made in the USA Diode Dynamics lighting, engineered and manufactured in-house

Integrated SS5 CrossLink Lighting

This configuration links seven SS5 LED pods into a single cohesive lightbar for a bold, aggressive appearance at the front of the rack. The SS5 CrossLink uses TIR optics that capture and direct nearly all available light output forward, eliminating glare and wasted light. The included Driving beam pattern delivers extra punch and distance without the tunnel-vision narrowness of a pure spot pattern — ideal for trail driving, overlanding, and low-visibility off-road use.

Fully Illuminated Backlight

When the main driving beam is off, the SS5 CrossLink's TIR optic remains fully illuminated via a selectable multicolor backlight with eight available color choices — a unique accent feature not found on conventional LED lightbars. Color selection is handled by simply cycling the power switch, with no controllers or programming required.

Proven Reliability

Diode Dynamics LED lighting is extensively tested for long-term operation from -40°F to 185°F, including vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion resistance — all validated to SAE standards. The rack and lighting system ship complete with all necessary wiring harnesses, mounting hardware, lightbar mounting brackets, and installation accessories.
