How to Increase Visibility of a T-Load Truck Bed Extender at Night

Question

Question:

I have a bed extender for my truck that I use to haul my kayaks. I often kayak in the evening and night and would like to know if there is a product available to put lights on the bed extender horizontal arms or on the kayaks themselves. I am using markers flags that I made.

I do have a way for you to increase the visibility of your t-load truck bed extender but we currently do not have a set of lights that are designed to work with your setup. Instead, the best option I have for you would be to use a reflector like the Optronics Reflector for Truck or Trailer part # RE52RB.

The reflector measures 4" wide x 1-1/4" tall x 3/8" deep and has an adhesive backing for simple installation.
