Question:

I dont see that any of these bed extenders have an option for adding lights. I know its not legally necessary but, it would be great it there was an optional light kit that plugs into the vehicle trailer wiring. Having said all that can you recommend a light tail/brake to attach to the bed extender?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Although there isn't a purpose-built option for what you want to do, there are options from a magnetic mount light kit to options that would require some modification of the load extender.

For the easiest option that wouldn't involve any alteration or fabrication, I'd recommend a magnetic mount lamp set up like the # RM-2120 offered by Roadmaster.

If you'd rather avoid a magnetic option, something like the # RM-2120 could be a good choice. The lamps mounting flaps could sit atop the arms of the load extender, and you could use zip ties to affix the lamps to the arms.

Another option would be a lamp kit that's designed for a cargo carrier. The # 98174LED kit uses LED lamps that don't draw much power. Due to the long length of the extender, you'll need a wiring extension, part # HM47115. You'd also need mounting brackets like # BK70BB. The brackets could be mounted to the underside of the load extender arms.
