For the 1993 Mazda Miata there are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit. I have included a link to the options for you. My number 1 pick for a 2-bike rack is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so great is the 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks that make installation faster and easier than any other bike rack I have used. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is by far the best one I have used.

The Hollywood Rack Baja 2 will install directly on the trunk of your 1993 Miata. You will start with the interlocking adjustment hubs completely loose, until you have placed the rack on your car and have adjusted the angle of the dual carrying arms to be either parallel to the ground or angling slightly up. Then flip the lever that will lock the hubs into place.
Our installation notes also state that you can use the tow loops on the side of the vehicle to attach straps or hooks, and the... view full answer...
In order to connect the lighting system on your 1999 Mazda Miata to your RV's and get the brake lights and turn signals required for towing, you will need Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # 154-792-118158.
I have attached an article that covers the five basic components required to flat tow. Before getting the Miata set-up, I do recommend checking your owner's manual for flat towing compatibility and any restrictions or special instructions that they may have.

I have a solution for you. The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11729, is confirmed to fit the 1996 Mazda Miata. This Curt hitch has the typical horizontal receiver tube that will use the a standard ball mount or mount a hitch accessory without using an adapter.
This Curt hitch has a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs and has the 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 hitch receiver opening.
If you are planning to use this hitch for an accessory like bike rack, then Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap... view full answer...
The new versions of the Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Racks, like the Thule Passenger 2 # TH910XT, feature cushioned anti-sway cradles that help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, and soft rubber pads to protect your vehicle's paint.
You will want to take extra care to keep the contact points of the trunk mounted bike rack and the area on the rear of your vehicle where the rack will make contact clean. This is the best way to reduce any light surface scratches that could appear... view full answer...
You'll be able to use most of the parts you have already depending on what you have but you will definitely need a new base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # 711-4 as that portion is vehicle specific. Your Falcon tow bar # RM-520 will work as-is though.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing if you old setup was a permanent install kit. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050, is a strap that is designed to wrap around a bike rack or cargo carrier and helps to provide extra support to the receiver when carrying hitch mounted bike racks and cargo carriers. There is a rubber coated hook on one end of the strap that will hook into the trunk or hatch lip, the other end loops around the rack or carrier and the cam buckle is used to take up slack in the strap.

The Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SA4025F, you attached to your question is an excellent choice. It has a rise of 5" from the shank. The 5" in shank rise should be enough for your bike tires to avoid being heated by the exhaust. You will not find a more significant rise without adding a hitch extender, but keep in mind when you add a hitch extender you reduce the maximum tongue weight of your bike rack by 50%.

The first thing you will need is a base plate kit to provide the attachment point for tow bars to your 1991 Mazda Miata. For that you will want the part # 711-4.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

If you don't have trailer wiring, I recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit with 4-Pole Connector (Includes Tester) # 119178KIT. This kit will give you the adaptation needed to make the 3 wire system with separate turn and stop lights in your Miata work with a 2 wire system that is standard tail light wiring on a trailer. This has a short circuit protection safeguard against electrical shorts and mis-wire situations. The circuit tester will help you... view full answer...
If you are looking for a hitch for your 1991 Mazda Miata that can have a bike rack installed in it you would want the Curt part # C11729. The one you referenced is a vertical hitch that does not have the ability to attach to bike racks.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

First check to make sure the light is grounded properly. That is typically what causes a trailer light to stop working. Especially when the light is an LED that doesn't normally burn out.
The light # C7493RTM that you referenced has a sealed lens that does not allow you to get into it. Plus the LED light inside it is not like a standard bulb that is easily replaced.
Try improving the ground first. That will most likely fix the problem.

In order to flat tow your 1990 Mazda Miata you are going to need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring to activate brake and turn signal lights, a supplemental braking system and likely a high-low adapter.
The base plates that fit your Miata are the RoadMaster XL # 711-4 and the compatible RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar # RM-020 which you referenced. For safety chains you can use the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643.

The adapter # RM-032 is a match for the EZ4 base plate kit that fits your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, part # RM-521448-4. There is no adjsutment to be made.
If you need other parts to setup the Jeep to be towed I recommend using the Hopkins wiring kit, part # HM56200, for lighting. It plugs in behind the Jeep's tail lights and provides a 4-way at the front to connect to the RV. You also need a Brake-Lite relay, part # RM-88400, to keep the Wrangler's lights from overriding the RV's.... view full answer...

I recommend going with the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 711-4 for your 1994 Mazda Miata because it has removable arms which will give your Miata more of an OEM look when you are not towing it with your Nissan Murano.
A more economical option would be the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit # 711-2, but it does not have removable arms.
You can use the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, 5,000 lbs # 63180 that you referenced, but you will also need the Adapter # RM-025 and if you choose the base... view full answer...
We do not have a trunk-mount cargo carrier that would be able to handle your golf bag or bags. The only solution I have for your Miata convertible is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted carrier.
The trailer hitch I recommend is part # C11729. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. A note from Curt says all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly... view full answer...
