Hitch Cargo Carrier Oval Light Kit 2PCS 6in Red - Bright, Weatherproof

In this review of the Hitch Cargo Carrier Oval Light Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for people who need reliable, bright trailer tail lights that resist weather and install without fuss. The reviewer found the pair of 6in oval lights deliver impressively strong red output thanks to 10 high-quality 3030 LED chips per light, and the IP67 ultrasonic sealing means they keep working through rain and road grime. Overall it is a practical, durable upgrade for luggage racks, bike racks and small trailers.

Key Features

• Awesome Brightness: Ten 3030 LED chips per light provide a high red output that improves visibility for braking and signaling.
• Stable Electronics: The aluminum substrate circuit board supports more components for a reliable, long-lasting circuit performance.
• Weatherproof Construction: Ultrasonic lens bonding achieves an IP67 sealing level so the lights are protected from water and dust.
• Simple Installation: The kit uses a bracket with a 0.39in mounting hole and a plug-in 4-way flat connector to make wiring straightforward.
• Upgraded Fit: Unique side ears and internal grommet notches help lock the light and grommet together to prevent separation during use.
• Wide Compatibility: The 82.68in harness and 4-wire 12V DC design work with luggage racks, bike racks, trucks, trailers and a range of vehicles.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for owners of cargo carriers, hitch-mounted luggage racks, small trailers or farm equipment who want a straightforward way to add brake, tail and turn signals that are bright and weatherproof. Installers who prefer a plug-and-play harness and secure mounting will appreciate the included 82.68in wiring harness and bracket design.

It is less suited for users who need fully labeled wiring or custom wiring diagrams out of the box; some buyers reported mixed feelings about unlabeled wires, so those who need color-coded or pre-labeled cable ends for complex installs may want a harness with markings or professional installation help.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these lights work on a standard 12V trailer wiring system?
Yes, the kit is designed for a 12V DC 4-wire system and uses a standard 4-way flat plug to connect to typical vehicle or trailer connectors.

How weatherproof are the lights?
The lens and body are ultrasonically bonded to reach an IP67 sealing level, protecting the lights from water immersion to a limited depth and from dust.

Are the wires labeled for each function?
The harness provides two 3-prong plugs and a 4-way flat plug but wires are not labeled, so some installers may need to verify functions with a tester during hookup.
