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.

Hey Robert, how did things go with the Curt LED indicator lights on your bike rack? Were they bright enough to make your signals clear when the bikes are covered? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same issue.
