Are Lights Required on Pro Series # 63153 Cargo Carrier Installed on 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
Are you required to have lights on the 24x60 Pro Series Cargo Carrier. I have a 2012 Santa Fe.

Lighting requirements can vary widely from state to state, but generally speaking, if the cargo carrier or the cargo stored on it obscures your taillights, it's a good idea to install a light kit. You can contact your Sate Highway Patrol or Police for specifics.
I really like the # 59516 LED light kit. The LED lamps are very bright, yet they draw only a fraction of the power that incandescent lamps do. I also really like the rugged wiring pigtails used by the light kit.
The light kit would plug in to a 4-pole trailer connector, if you don't already have one on your Santa Fe, you can install one using part # 118258 if your vehicle has the factory tow package or # 118415 if your Santa Fe isn't equipped with the tow package.
I've linked you to an install video for the light kit, as well as to a product demonstration video for the cargo carrier.
