Question:

Dear etrailer, I am in need of a 20" long LED Red running and brake, White reverse and Amber turn signals Tailgate Light Bar or a pair of 10" units. Do you sell anything like this? If not, is there any chance you might be able to recommend someone? This is to add lighting to the back of my Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack. Thank you!

Expert Reply:

Thank you for your purchase of the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G!

When it comes to lighting I have an alternate solution to what you're asking with the following parts:

Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights - # C53201
Thule License Plate Holder for Bike Racks - # TH35JV (if the bikes also cover your license plate)

This gives you better visibility with the bike rack on your car and the lights are installed with 3M adhesive backing so it's a pretty simple install. It just uses red lights for all of the functions but they work in accordance to your tail lights as you can see in the linked video.

Aside from this the closest thing we have to what you're asking about would be the Putco # P62KR but it uses dual 18" LED strips so it's still too long.
