Can Lights Be Added to Reese Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier

Question:

For the Reese Cargo Carrier, is there a way to add a light kit for night driving? I think this might block my tail lights a bit.

There is! The Reese Cargo Carrier # RP87KR actually has cutouts for adding tail light assemblies like what's included with the etrailer # e98943-44LED kit. This is a pretty unique and super useful feature on this particular carrier.

The etrailer light kit also includes a license plate holder, which if your vehicle's tail lights are blocked by the carrier and loaded cargo, your license plate will be to.

Hey, how did things go with adding the light kit to your Reese Cargo Carrier? Did the LED lights and license plate holder give you better visibility at night? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same carrier.
