Question:
I recently purchased a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 platform bike rack from you. It’s a nice rack but when my bike is in place with a cover over it it badly obscures the right turn signal on my RAV 4. Could I get this light attached to the bottom of my bike rack and hook it up to a 4 way flat trailer hookup?

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 connected to the harness and this allows you to install a light on each side so your bike rack still looks uniformed. This is typically used for a cargo carrier application but if you're willing to modify the bike rack (which will obviously void the warranty) this is the way to do it.
If you don't already have a 4-Way connector on your RAV4 just let me know and I can make a recommendation for that as well.
