The following tutorial shows how to install the Red Light Addon on the latest version of Kodi.

Red Light is a brand new Kodi add-on from The Repo Repo and a clone of FEN Light, which has had several issues recently.

This option does require a premium debrid service and the installation of external scrapers to access content. This means a service like TorBox, Real-Debrid, Premiumize, etc. is required and we show how to set this all up below.

Although a debrid service is required, we were very impressed with this add-on after testing!

In the tutorial below we are using an Onn 4K Plus to install the Red Light add-on. These same steps also work for those using Fire TVs, Android TV/Google TV boxes, and any device compatible with the Kodi software.

How to Install Red Light Kodi Addon

• Launch Kodi
• Click the settings icon  

• Hover over Add-ons menu item and turn on Unknown sources if not already on

• Click back on remote to go back to the System page
• Select File Manager

• Type the following URL exactly how it is listed here – https://repo.redwizard.xyz and click OK

• Type “repo” or any other name you would like to identify this source as and click OK

• Click the back button on your remote until you are on the System screen. Then click Add-ons

• Click Install from zip file

• Select “repo” or whatever you named the media source in the previous step

• Click the zip file URL – repository.redwizard.zip

• Wait for the “Red Repo Add-on installed” message to appear

• Then click Install from repository

• Locate Red Light and click it

• Wait a few seconds for the Gratis Red Add-on installed message to appear

• Now before we use Red Light we must install an external scraper. Click the back button on your remote a few times and choose Program add-ons.

• Then click Gears Scrapers

• Wait for the ‘Gears Scrapers’ installed message to appear

• Now go back to the Home screen of Kodi and select Add-ons, then choose Red Light.

• You have successfully installed the Red Light add-on!

Installation is now complete and continue reading below for integrating debrid services.

How to Integrate Debrid Services

In this example we are integrating TorBox but this process will also work for any debrid service like Real-Debrid, Premiumize, and more.

1. From the main menu of the Red Light add-on, scroll down and click Tools.

2. Click Settings.

3. Hover over Sources Accounts and toggle on Enable under External Scrapers.

4. Then click Choose External Scrapers Module.

5. Select Gears Scrapers from the list since we installed this earlier.

6. Click OK.

7. Now you can authorize debrid services. Under TorBox click Authorize.

8. Next you will need your TorBox API key. To get this you must log into your TorBox account settings and click Copy API Key on the very bottom.

9. Return back to Kodi and enter your TorBox API Key and click OK.

10. You should then receive a Success message and click OK.

Red Light Add-on Categories & Details

The Red Light add-on is simple and offers categories that include Movies, TV Shows, Anime, People, Discover, Random Lists, My Services, Tools, and more.

Red Light Addon Review

Here’s what our testing revealed about the long-standing ‘Red Light’ add-on:

What We Like

• Solid replacement for FEN Light, which lost development momentum
• We were impressed during testing, with reliable links pulled through Gears Scrapers
• Familiar FEN-style layout with Movies, TV Shows, Anime, Discover, and People sections
• Real-Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox, and AllDebrid all supported out of the box
• Trakt integration syncs viewing progress across devices
• Same Red Repo also hosts Genesis, SALTS, Free Flow, and Gratis Red for users who want variety
• Active development pace matches what we’ve seen from other Red Repo releases

What We Don’t Like

• Third-party source with no verified licensing for the content provided
• External scraper module install adds an extra step that newer users may find confusing
• VirusTotal flagged one questionable file in the host repository URL
• Premium debrid account required with no free links available
• Brand new release means long-term update commitment is unproven
• Gears Scrapers is less common than CocoScrapers, so guides are thinner
• Older Kodi versions may experience errors

Is The Red Light Addon Legal?

It’s impossible for TROYPOINT to determine whether these unverified add-ons like ‘Red Light’ hold the proper licensing.

TROYPOINT recommends only accessing media not protected by copyright such as those that fall under Public Domain status.

The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through unverified add-ons/apps/websites. For verified options, see our list of legal streaming apps.

Is it Safe to Use?

Before using this add-on it is important to scan their repository URL with VirusTotal. Here is the screenshot of the scan results.

VirusTotal found one suspicious file with viruses/malware within The Red Repo URL. We should always protect ourselves with a VPN when streaming content from unverified 3rd party add-ons.

A VPN will provide you with an anonymous connection while using questionable add-ons such as this. See our VPN on Firestick tutorial for more information.
