Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers
This light kit is just what I needed to finish my new Rola Railed Cargo Carrier for a professional look that offers additional safety to me and other drivers while mounted on my vehicle. Installation was easy. The included zip-ties were very helpful. For additional protection, I added black polyethylene tubing over all wiring and a few more zip-ties. The fit of the light grommets in the available holes of my Rola Railed Cargo Carrier was a bit loose, but not enough for the lights to fall out. They look great and function well!
The lights themselves worked very well on our weeklong trip. However, the reason I gave them three stars was because they didn't fit in tightly to the Reese Cargo Carrier (#63155) even though they were the ones that we were told by etrailer staff would fit. We used duct tape to ensure that they would not fall out. We had to later double up on the duct tape when pressure from cargo partially pushed them out.

LED Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, Pro Series, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers
The carrier I have is Erickson brand. The seller's pic shows no reflectors or lights. It came with reflective tape and I added the 4 orange round reflectors. Double stacking coolers and covering them with a tarp made the vehicle's [a Ford Explorer] lights hard to see at night. While the Erickson carrier doesn't seem to be set up for lights so I looked around at various options. A poster on another message board suggested the etrailer site. The 98174LED unit seemed like it would fit my needs. Pics of my innovated installation using zip ties. 1. As advertised by seller. 2. Carrier installed on vehicle. reflectors shown. 3. Left light installed 4. Inner pic of left light. 5. Pic of connection. The plug on the vehicle is somewhat corroded, so I purchased a short extension and plan to keep it permanently connected to the vehicle.
The light kit is very well built, although the instructions to install on my carrier could have been better. The wires for the left and right side are not the same length and the longer wire is almost too long. They do work well and look good.
