Light Kit to Use for Curt Aluminum Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
Question:
I am doing a two tier cargo tool box under a cargo basket. I like this basket but need to add tail lights/blinkers/backup lights. What would you recommend?

We do have a handful of options for you to choose from when it comes to adding lights to the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113.
You can use the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 which use a 3M adhesive to stick to the carrier, the Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers # 20174 which requires you to cut out some holes for the lights, or the License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit # Y74VR which is designed for the Yakima EXO System but would be useful if you're thinking the license plate would be covered most of the time.
For simple lighting I recommend the Curt since it's a peel and stick application, but for the nicest setup you can go with the Yakima because it provides the extra bracket for the license plate.
I'm attaching review videos for each light kit for you to check out.
