The CURT AUXILIARY LED INDICATOR LIGHTS #53201 (https://amzn.to/3yYiSGX) are a great safety addition to the Hollywood and other hitch racks, especially if your bike is covered during transport and your vehicle's rear lights are obscured. The lights install quickly and easily without any tools. A few zip ties help with keeping the wiring tidy.
I recently used a product from Beacon that worked great. It includes a mounting bracket and LED's for the license plate in addition to the turn signals.

That looks like a nice light, but a hundred and sixty-nine bucks????? I'd go about 1/3rd of that amount, and in the meantime am using these, which cost me $33 last year: https://amzn.to/3D8DNtt
JimInPT I agree with you about the price. I know I'm late to the party but the ones you mentioned are now $209 CAD. Wow. The lights you show you are using are nice too and much more reasonable.
I've been looking for something to use for my auto cargo basket and my bike rack when I get one over this winter. Unfortunately I can't use magnetic ones on my cargo rack. The setup the OP shows look perfect for me and they are only around $50, shipping and taxes included. Lights, signals and stop lights. Nice!
I'm going to order two of them when I order the bike rack.
I can't use the magnet mounts either because my hitch rack is aluminum, so I lash them on with velcro straps. Isn't pretty but it's pretty solid.
$209.... for what? They're currently US$41 at the moment (I paid $33 plus sales tax) and there's a "wireless" option now that I'm not familiar with, but even that's just a little over US$100.
I never thought of velcro. That's a great idea. I could put one side of the velcro to the glue on the lights and put another on the cargo rack and the bike rack then just move the lights whenever needed.
Thank you for the idea.
