AJ What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator lights. Now you can put these on a bunch of different accessories we've got them installed on our cargo carrier here today. It's a four-pole that plugs in. And then now you have lights that match your taillights on your cargo carrier or bike rack.
Let's check it out. Take a closer look at them. You see the LED lights here. There's LEDs up on the top layer, and then there's going to be a bottom layer of those. Those are going to come on when we activate our taillights or our hazards.
So we're gonna run through the functions real quick right now we're gonna hit the brake lights first. You see how it lights up a little bit brighter that way, matching the brake lights on your vehicle. Then we can hit the hazards. You don't see that bottom one light up too. You see right there, it's lighting up.
That's going to be the flashing function of it. It's right here as well. It's going to attach via a four pole. So we have our vehicle wiring here, plugged in. And you're gonna get 71 inches of cords.
That's going to be more than enough. You see me kind of bumbled ours up here beside is just for demonstration purposes, but you should have plenty of cord. And if you have access, you can roll that up and tie that off right there like that. Now we've run it down. Our cargo carrier, it's got two points to hook up. It's going to be labeled left and right. And they're even color coded. So we have the blue and the yellow. So of course plugged the yellow and the yellow and the blue into the blue. And it's that easy. We come back out here, we've got both of our lights, like I said, that mark left and right now routing the wire's up to you. We you just kind of used some things just to set up as a demonstration today, you probably want to use more zip ties for more permanent on the backside of the lights. There's also some adhesive double-sided tape. You can peel off and that's what we use to stick it. Now we use electrical tape cause we didn't want to rip off that seal on that tape today. We have them on our cargo carrier today. This is going to apply to bike racks as well. There's a lot of people online and say they don't like that their bikes are covering up their taillights and even a cargo carrier, you can stack your gear up and cover up those lights as well. Now I know that this car care has reflectors on there too, but this is going to work in tandem with your brake lights and your blinkers. So this is going to have that functionality. These are going to be way brighter, pop. That way you're gonna have less to worry about people are going to see when you're stopping or where you're turning because it's on the back of your car carrier or your bike rack the LEDs and the housing are going to be weatherproof So you won't have to worry about the elements, getting to them or damaging them. You're also going to get 24 diodes on the inside. So that's what's going to keep it nice and bright. When setting them up and putting them where you want on your cargo carrier or bike rack I would recommend also getting some wire loom from us just to keep things nice and neat on the other side and protect that wire, Make sure it's not going to be issues with cutting. It's just going to protect it for longer. Overall. I think it's going to be a very helpful thing to have on your car carrier or your bike rack, just because if you're already stacking up full of stuff or you have those bikes loaded people can't see your taillights. I'd be a little worried about that. I want people to know when I'm stopping. So there's no issues. This is going to prevent that. That does it. Thanks for hanging out. And I hope this out..
Very easy to install, a great addition for bike racks. Fabricated an aluminum bar to attached to the bike rack, added the ETRAILER light and some reflectors.
The Curt Auxillary LED Lights work great on my DraftMaster (recumbent trike) carrier. This light kit has a long lead cable which is prefect for this hitch carrier.
Easy to install, the adhesive is super sticky - no worrys about the lights coming off. This is my second set. The one's I installed on my other car/bike rack, have been there about 2 years and are still working great.
Mounted on a new Yakima Stage 2 bike rack; they are small but put out a super bright light. Will most definitely add to safety.
Very easy and secure install on the carrier. The slim profile of the lights is a perfect fit for the rails on the carrier. Plug and play connectors made the install a 5 minute job. Highly recommended.
Put it on your 1up!

This looks awesome, seriously. It kind of looks like a spaceship just landed in your garage. Those lights paired with the X3’s tail lights really pop, it almost looks like it came that way from the factory.
Second time ordering these lights; first time for bike rack; second for cargo carrier. Great lights; bright and easy to install!
Works great on my bike carrier.

Glad to hear the light kit is working well for you Leonard, I thank you for checking in!!
Great addition to our bike rack ! We can now drive at night knowing that our bikes and bike rack are more noticeable. We also added fluorescent tape to the sides of our rack for even greater safety. As always, thank you e-trailer for providing great products!
Installs easy, but would have appreciated some basic install instruction. No instructions at all in or on the package. Installed them on my hitch mounted bike rack. Product works as advertised should greatly improve visibility when bikes block my taillights.
They are great and I like the safety la tch.
Loved these lights for a large Tray style Bike rack. LED's not too bright, but are visible in daylight hours. Gives me confidence that people can actually see the rack now. When your carrying $10000.00 worth of bikes, $30-40 is a no-brainer. Very easy to install as well.

After a year, product still looks and works great. Several have asked where I got these. I should start custom building mounts for bike racks
Easy to install. Turn signal is really hard to see when using running lights or brake lights. Display could be a little bigger.

Good product adhesive tape still holding. We use the bike rack a lot. I would buy again.
Easy to connect. Fitting it to a Kuat bike carrier was an exercise in finding a good place to attach it using the adhesive and some zip ties as well as Velcro strips. Seems to work well, but planning a long drive and will see how it holds up with time.
We received the order in good shape and quickly. Im hopeful the light will make our bike rack noticeable and more easily noticed on the highway.
In my opinion a clear 5 star ordering experience from beginning to end. High quality product arrived well-packed and exactly as described on company web site - which was easy to navigate. ordering was a breeze, shipping was fast and delivered even faster that I had anticipated. HIGHLY recommend this company and their products.

Very well. Much of the driving is at highway speeds 120 KPH the product stays affixed perfectly, works perfectly and I was actually complimented by a Highway Patrol Officer who said he could clearly see its operation. Still a 5 Star rating!
Super easy to install and use. I routed through my bike rack, so the wires are somewhat protected.
Perfect for what I need below my tailga te
A quick and easy install on my Thule rack. I carry two e-bikes and am glad to have unblocked lights on the rack.

Awesome! Now your e-bikes can shine bright… or at least your taillights can! What kind of e-bikes do you have?
Love the lights. I installed them on my bike carrier because I was worried that the bikes would block my brake lights from the cars behind me. I just taped them to the rack in case I want to use them on a cargo rack. Very nice lights. I’m going to buy another pair.
I've used these lights on several projects, no complaints, they do job every time!
The lights are bright. They are small and light weight. The wired connection at the end of the light is so much more functional than at any other location on the light. Would recommend this product to my friends.
The light setup we purchased from you works great.

Glad you are happy with them, Sally Jane! I have every confidence these ones will hold up just as good as your previous set! : ) What bike rack did you install them on?
