Hi Robert,
This is a super common problem that we deal with and the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 are the solution. These lights have a 3M backing to easily mount them to the bike rack and plug into a 4-pole trailer connector for your light signals. I see you have a 2023 Chevy Traverse listed as your vehicle, if you don't already have a trailer connector you can go with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56394.
I've attached a couple of videos below where Jake will show you how to mount the lights and John will show you how to install the wire harness.
