Adding Lights and Reflectors to Make Pro Series Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier More Visible
Question:
Hello. I purchased the 24x60 Pro Series Cargo Carrier for 2inch Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier Code: 63153 I am looking for a light kit for it - which would fit? I would also like antennaeinch to put on the basket so that I can see it in my mirrors. The basket is completely hidden when driving and Im afraid I will forget that it is there and back into something. Any thoughts? I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler if that helps at all. Also, thoughts on reflective tape to go around it?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You have a couple of light kit options for the Pro Series carrier # 63153. For regular incandescent lights you can use # 20174. And for the LED light version use # 98174LED. I have linked a couple of videos on these light kits for you.
To add reflective strips you can use # RE418T. You will likely have to trim them to fit but they will definitely make the carrier more visible.
You could use marker # DM35RS to attach to the basket so that you can see it in your mirrors. The pole is 35 inches tall. You would have to make some sort of bracket to attach it to the carrier.
Another option is to use a backup camera such as # 04928.
