Question:

Expert Reply:
If you have a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the Rola Swinging Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier, part # 59109, that you reference, your license plate will attach to the bottom tray between the taillights. There are four mounting points to show where the license plate is supposed to go. There are also two mounting points to show where the Rola License Plate Light Kit, part # 59117, should be installed. This light comes only in white. However, the Rola Carrier has a plug for the red brake lights.
I have attached a video link to a demonstration of Rola Swinging Cargo Carrier.
I have also linked to our selection of cargo carrier brake lights if needed for a different carrier type.
