Can Tail Lights be Installed When Bike Bag is Over Bikes and Bike Rack
Question:
Greetings. I recently purchased this bike rack, which is awesome. I am looking at purchasing an additional set of lights, like the Curt Auxillary LED Light Indicator Lights Item #C53201, for brakes, signals, etc…, however when I put a cover on the bikes, it will cover the whole rack, including lights. Is there a set of lights that could utilize the 2” hitch that this rack has? Like a strip light that would go on the hitch. I have a 4 pin connector on the back of the camper to plug in to. Thanks!

The Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 looks like it's going to be your best option for adding lights to your Swagman Nomad Bike Rack # S36FR. The challenge, that you noted, is going to be making the lights visible with the bike bag installed. The only solution I can think of is to get 2 sets of the Curt light kit and install a second one on the bag itself somehow. Then when you install the bag you plug in the lights on the bag instead of the lights on the bike rack.
Aside from this I really don't know of a better solution since any other light kit will need to be installed directly to the rack and will be covered up when you put the bag in place.
