Is Taillight and/or License Plate Kit Needed with Thule Easyfold Bike Rack
Question:
If I were to buy this product from you, do you have any accessories that can be added to the TH9032? Specifically, brake lights, turn signal lights, and license plate holder!!??

For the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 there are no license plate brackets or light kits available, but the good news is that you really don't need any of that. Your taillights will still be visible to the outside of the rack and your license plate would be considered visible enough that the police wouldn't give you a hard time. Reason we can say that is that we have sold thousands of bike racks and have yet to hear of a customer who had a problem with taillights or license plate visibility.
The biggest concern would be taillight visibility since that's how people know you are stopping/turning. In nearly all cases the lights would be wider placed than the length of any bike and even if that weren't the case the wheels are 95% see through due to spokes and very thin tires so even then the lights would be seen just fine. For example, I attached a picture of a very large roadbike and you can easily see the taillights through the wheels.
