Question:

I am looking to buy a 24X60 Curt cargo carrier part# C18153, I found a lighting kit that i think would work, the e98943-44LED. My first question is if the wiring kit that comes with the light kit will work with my 2014 Honda pilot touring Factory trailer outlet. If not what will i need to make it work or what other light kit that is similar to this one that will work with my Honda.i have included a picture of the factory trailer outlet. My 2nd question is can i use this license plate light bracket part# BK31BB, so that i can screw it to the frame and attach the light to the bracket. the bracket has 2 inch spacing for each hole the light in the kit looks to have the same but i cant find any measurements for the light kit so i am not sure if it will work.

Light kit # e98943-44 is going to require drilling some holes through the top tube of Curt carrier # C18153. because you would have to make some modification like this for installation because there isn't a light kit made for the Curt cargo carriers.

This light kit uses a 4-Way flat connector. Your 2014 Honda Pilot has a 7-Way connector so you would just need an adapter, # PK12716, to use the light kit.
