Recommended Lights For Signaling With Bikes Blocking Tail Lights On A 2014 Kia Sorento
Question:
Any ideas on attaching alternate lights for this carrier? I was looking for something to plug into my existing flat 4 prong connector. I’ve seen the two piece CURT and some of the magnetic mounts for the top of the car. I was wondering is something else was out there. When two bike are loaded on the carrier you can’t see the car tail lights. It’s even worse if covers are on the bikes. And I also see some are out of stock. Thanks

Since you're trying to display your braking and turn signals utilizing your 4-pole connector your best bet is to use a simple magnetic tow light like the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR. Since your 2014 Kia Sorento is a crossover SUV the magnetic lights will be high enough above the bikes to display. These are a very simple install; the lights have magnets to stick to your vehicle's roof and come with a 4-pole connector cable to make installation take less than a minute. We also carry a wireless magnetic mount, but you would need to install a 7-way port to be able to power it.
