Brake Light Kit And License Plate Holder For A Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack

Question:

We have a Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack. We added a bike cover, which partially obscures our license plate and brake lights. We would like to add some sort of extender with a place for our license plate if possible, but definitely our brake lights. What do you recommend?

For your tail light signals you can mount some lights like part # 20174 to the rails of the Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR with brackets like part # BK70BB. This light kit will come with a 4-pole connector to plug into your vehicle's 4-pole trailer connector for your light signals.

As for the license plate, you can use the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light # LPL56CB to mount your license plate to the rails of the bike rack as well for better visibility. This will come with a simple power an ground wire. I recommend splicing into the running light wire on the 4-pole connector of the # 20174 so that both sets of lights can be easily powered from the vehicle connector.
