Hello Stephen, thanks for reaching out. We actually get this question a lot. There is a way to add lights and a license plate holder to the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider bike rack, but there is not any kind of custom fit kit for this.
Typically when people want to add a license plate holder to a bike rack, they need a light for the plate and they want to add a taillight kit as well.
For your tail light signals you can mount some lights like part # 20174 to the rails of the bike rack with brackets like part # BK70BB. This light kit will come with a 4-pole connector to plug into your vehicle's 4-pole trailer connector for your light signals.
As for the license plate, you can use the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light # LPL56CB to mount your license plate to the rails of the bike rack as well for better visibility. This will come with a simple power an ground wire. I recommend splicing into the running light wire on the 4-pole connector of the # 20174 so that both sets of lights can be easily powered from the vehicle connector.
If you are wanting to do just the license plate with no lights, the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713 can be added to virtually any bike rack and attaches with hook-and-loop straps.

Hey Stephen, did you decide to go with the light kit and license plate holder for your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider, or did you opt for just the Yakima PlateMate? I’d love to hear how it worked out so I can help others with similar setups.
