Perhaps the easiest light kit to install, the sealed light units snap into the built-in mounting brackets on Draw-Tite, Rola and Tow Ready cargo carriers and then plug into the existing 4-pole trailer connector on the vehicle.


Features:

  • Fits Draw-Tite 40101, Rola 59502 and 59507, and Pro Series 63153 and 63155 trailer hitch mounted cargo carriers
  • Off-set Y-harness - one lead measures about 3'




Light Kit Installation


Insert grommet

Step 1

Mount rubber grommets on both sides of cargo carrier tray making sure grommets are seated securely.



Insert light

Step 2

Press tail lamps into grommets until seated securely on both sides of carrier tray.



Route plug

Step 3

Route plug with green wire under cargo carrier to the passenger side (right) and plug into cargo carrier tail lamp.

Route plug with yellow wire under cargo carrier to the driver side (left) and plug into cargo carrier tail lamp.



Secure wiring

Step 4

With supplied cable ties, secure all wiring to the bottom of the cargo carrier.



Please note: With the off-set Y-harness, one wire lead (about 3' long) is run straight to a light, the other lead (about 6' long) is run along the back edge of the carrier before it curves up to the second light. On the 40101 and 59502 cargo carriers, the wires come up through the carriers' mesh floor to attach to the back of the lights. On the Tow Ready carriers 63153 and 63155, the tighter mesh floor is not large enough for the plug to pass through. Therefore run the wire leads under the platform to the lights, then up the front of the carrier and around to the back of the light. This also helps prevent the wires from getting pinched by the cargo. On vehicles where the 4-pole trailer connector is tucked under the vehicle, a 4-pole extension may be required to connect the two plugs. See 'related items.'

Great value! The drivers side wires are a little short but it still reaches.



by:

Super LightsThe lights were very easy to install and provide an added measure of safety for a great price



by:

Very dispappointed that there's no easy way to replace the bulbs if they would burn out. Hopefully that never happens.



by:

The trailer lights fit great as long as you take time to figure out the wire lengths.



by:

Easy to use. Glad it made the cargo carrier more visible.



by:

Easy to install. Very bright. I can't imagine the LED type are worth the extra money. These are excellent!



by:

Driver side light wire too short? - remove the light, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinstall it. This will give you 6 or more inches.



by:

I would have said it was excellent but the cable is to short. I purchased that extended cable adapter and it made the difference.



by:

They were available by e-mails prior of my purchase and responded to my questions. The shipment was quick, enough secure. Items were as described.
They did follow up with e-mails on my receipt.



by:

It's great for what it is... until you need to change a bulb... the lenses seem to be permanently glued to the shells, so it's impossible to pull them apart and change the bulbs. Am I missing something? I mean, what the heck kind of design is that?

Same problem, bought these for my Rola rack to use on a family trip to the home of the mouse in Florida, LOVE THE ROLA RACK, LOVE THE ETRAILER LARGE CARGO BAG, and ETRAILER as a whole is AWESOME!!!! ........That said, WISH I HADNT WASTED THE MONEY ON THE LIGHTS!!.......they stick too far into the cargo area because the plug connection is on the rear of the light.......If the connection was on the side vice the back then it wouldnt be so bad, Just like everyone else, wire to plug is too short so I ended up buying an extender so it wouldnt be in the way and look like crap........Left TX and on second day get to the home of Mickey and notice the passenger light is out....the lights were in use for all of two days.....just got home and had a few to look at the housing thinking I would a new bulb in....I do no see any way to get it apart without using implements of destruction - can see enough of the bulb to tell it is blown. Will probably trash the lights, go to the trailer shop down the road and build my own set with bulbs that can be changed....description really should read DISPOSABLE LIGHT KIT..........I really like etrailer but this product needs some serious improvement!!!!



by:

The product was received promptly and exactly as described by etrailer.

  • Will the Pro Series Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Fit a 2008 Acura MDX
    On the trailer hitches we have installed on a 2008 Acura MDX and similar models, we have found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to clear the rear bumper on the vehicle measures up to 5 inches. The Pro Series Cargo carrier, # 63153, measures 12-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the carrier so it will clear the rear bumper. This is also enough distance to allow you to open the rear hatch on the vehicle. If your tail lights are...

  • Recommended Bike Rack and Hitch Receiver for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler with E-Bikes
    For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT78MR is a great option made by the same manufacturer as Reese components. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13392 is also a great fit for your Jeep with the rear spare and has a thicker powder coat but a lesser tongue weight rating. Either option will work well for your bike rack. Both the Curt and Draw-Tite hitch receiver options will require...

  • Is There LED Light Kit that Fits Reese Hitch Cargo Carrier 63153
    Hey John, yes the LED light kit part # 98174LED that you referenced does fit the Reese hitch cargo carrier part # 63153. This would give you the LED taillight kit you are looking for. What do you plan on carrying with the carrier?

  • Do Cargo Carrier Accessory Lights Have a Reverse Light?
    No, I am sorry there is not. All of our light kits like the item # 20174 or item # C53201 use a 4-way connector. The 4-way connectors like item # C89KR, you were looking at, that fits your 2024 Kia Seltos do not have the ability to power a reverse light.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 2015 Ford Mustang With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    To be able to use the Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18151 on your 2015 Mustang you will need an adapter because the only trailer hitches available for your vehicle is a Class l trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You would need an adapter like part # HTAD to be able to carry the 2-inch cargo carrier. Keep in mind that using any adapter in the hitch reduces the weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. The # C18151 basket weight is about 55-lbs. So this would not leave...

  • Size/Capacity of OEM Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for 2012 GMC Terrain
    The hitch should have a sticker somewhere on it that lists its capacities. With the capacity and the size of the receiver opening, you can figure out which class the receiver is. I have linked you to an FAQ article that fully explains how to determine the size/class of your hitch receiver. For instance, if the receiver opening is 2 x 2 inches, it would be a Class III with a capacity of between 3500 lbs and 6000 towing and 300-600 lbs tongue weight. Tongue weight is the maximum amount of...

  • Replacement LED Lights for a Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier
    Yes, I can! To replace the lights in your Rola enclosed cargo carrier you will need the LED Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, Pro Series, and Rola Cargo Carriers item # 98174LED. These lights fit both the Rola standard cargo carriers and the enclosed ones. The lights are not available individually you will need to purchase the entire replacement kit.

  • Does Reese Cargo Carrier Fit Class I Hitch on Honda Civic Sedan
    Yes it will; even with the Class I hitch on your Honda Civic you can use the cargo carrier you asked about: - Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches # 63155 As far as what else you need, if you want to use the Light Kit # 20174 then you do indeed need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56396. Those will be the only things you need to use the cargo carrier.

  • Can Tail Lights be Installed on Kuat Sherpa 2.0
    Thank you for the purchase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B. Since your right turn signal is being obscured you could very possibly use the Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL59RB with a 4-Way pigtail like part # HM38134 but I have a different recommendation for you that I believe is a bit simpler to install and will look better since that strip can only carry one turn signal function. I recommend using the Light Kit # 20174 with 2 of the Bracket # BK70BB. The 4-Way connector is already...

  • Light Kit and License Bracket Holder Recommendation for the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE
    For your application I recommend the Light Kit # 20174 and 2 of the Mounting Bracket # BK70BB. These will mount under the horizontal bars for the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. When it comes to the license plate bracket I'm not quite sure what you could use though because any bracket with a light that we carry, like part # LPL56CB, is going to require more space to mount it than this bike rack provides. You might have to mount this kit to the horizontal piece as well because of this.

  • Kuat Base NV 2.0 Bike Rack Needs Tail Lights
    Since you have the tow package with the trailer adapter you can attach lights to your bike rack If you use a 7-pin to 4-pin adapter, like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors, part # C55774, you can attach a trailer light system to your rack. A lightbar system or two trailer lights will work, but if you attach them with screws or bolts you will void the warranty of your Kuat NV 2.0. If you go with a traditional light system...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Cargo Basket for 2015 Subaru Forester
    Thanks for the information. For your 2015 Subaru Forester, I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98839 which has a 2 inch receiver and is able to support tongue weights up to 525 lbs. This hitch will have the top shank of your cargo carrier sit at 14-1/4 inches off the ground. Then based on your desires for lighting since most carriers of this size have the powder coat finish to protect from rust and similar clearances, I recommend the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for...

  • 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying A Cargo Carrier Behind a 2017 Honda HR-V
    Well Curtis, we do have the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84YR which I do see you already found for your 2017 Honda HR-V. This has the 2" opening and is rated up to 300lbs of tongue weight like you are looking for so it does meet your requirements. I do recommend adding the 4-Way # 118673 when you install the receiver as you may need to add some Lights # 20174 to the Cargo Carrier # 63153.

  • Light Kit to Use for Curt Aluminum Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
    We do have a handful of options for you to choose from when it comes to adding lights to the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113. You can use the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 which use a 3M adhesive to stick to the carrier, the Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers # 20174 which requires you to cut out some holes for the lights, or the License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit # Y74VR which is designed for the Yakima EXO System but would...

  • What is a Recommended License Plate Light for a Cargo Carrier?
    The best option for you to use a license plate light with your Pro Series Cargo Carrier, # 63153, would be to get the available cargo carrier light kit, # 20174. The kit plugs into a trailer wiring harness on your vehicle for turn, stop and running light functions. After that, the LED Trailer License-Plate Light with Mounting Bracket, # LPL55CB, can be mounted on the carrier and lit by tapping into the running light circuit wire from the light kit.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier with High Ground Clearance
    The Surco 24 by 60 Cargo Carrier, part # 52018 has a straight shank, which means that the height at the back end would be the same at the height of the receiver. For the Toyota Venza, once a hitch is installed, the top of the receiver would fall just below the bottom of the rear fascia. Depending on the height from the ground to the bottom of a hitch receiver on your vehicle, this might present a problem. If you are concerned about ground clearance, you could use the Pro Series 24 by 60...

  • Adding a Light Kit to the Curt Cargo Basket
    For your Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18153, you can use the light kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready and Rola carriers, part # 20174. This will install using zip ties and connect to your existing 4-way connector to add a light kit to your cargo carrier. Since they are not directly designed for your basket, you'll have to invent a way to hang them from the bars.

  • How To Add Tail Lights To An Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier
    Yes, the Light Kit for Railed Cargo Carriers part # 20174 will work with the Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Tail Lights part # 337LB1SS. This would be an excellent option for your Black Widow Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier in order to display your signal lights. If you don't already have a 4-way on your 2011 Honda Pilot you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118491.
