I believe you're speaking of a mat that would be placed under a roof mounted cargo mat to prevent scratching the vehicle roof, is that correct? If so, use the # RL100650 non-skid roof mat.

As far as the lights go, are you perhaps speaking of a light kit for #RL100650 or a hitch mounted cargo carrier? If so, we offer a few different choices but some of them are pretty specific to the brand or design of the carrier used.

The # 98174LED is designed for carriers with oblong holes in the rear like # 63153. The # e98943-44LED kit works best on carriers with square rails like the # e98874 or # C18152 carriers. If none of these kits are compatible with the carrier you're using, let me know and I can make some further suggestions.

I've linked to videos featuring the light kits mentioned above.
