Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers - H01540

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (24 Customer Reviews)

I wanted something to replace tail light functions while traveling with bikes on back. Installation was easy, as I only needed 4' of 1" sq. Aluminum tubing, and 2 -10" L brackets from big box. Being LED, these lights are very visible during daylight hours. Besides the cost of the lights, the other materials were less than $20.00. I no longer worry about cars behind me not knowing my intention. I would highly recommend as a possible solution when carrying bikes on the rear.

Still very bright, and working as they should.



by:

I needed to put some tail lights on my 1up bike rack. These lights worked because of their size and the mounting bracket. I used a piece of 1" aluminum bar stock to stand it of the rack frame. The lights do work well. Connections were easy. I would recommend these lights.



by:

I really like the lights, but I needed repair the location on the backs of the lights where the wires enter the back of the light housings. Without first sealing the back of the light fixtures water would be able to get into the light housing and damage the LED's inside. This repair needed to be completed on both lights. Once I sealed the housing and installed the lights they worked perfectly. I am confident they will provide me with the visibility I wanted with my bike rack on the rear of my vehicle.



by:

Lights installed and everything works. Nice and bright! Installation was a pain though.
- The holes in the lights did not line up with the slots in the mounting plates, necessitating the slots being bored out to compensate,
- There we’re no rubber grommets in the kit.
- The hole where the cables exit the light unit were not properly sealed though there was a protruding glob of sealant there preventing a flush fitting of the mounting plate.
- it was necessary to cut away the excess sealant with a sharp knife and reseal the opening with silicone to effect a workable fix.

I am sorry to hear you had so much trouble but glad to know you made it work! For future reference if you ever needed to install more, the lower holes have extra space drilled out, so you can angle the LED lights on the bracket for any tight fittings. The adhesive on the light cable may get in the way sometimes, but shouldnt prevent the light from mounting.

No problems. Working as designed.



by:

This light kit was very easy to install on my Hollywood bike rack. I would definitely give this product 5 stars.



by:

Love these lights. I got them for my bicycle rack. The bikes were blocking my tail lights and these are small enough and very bright to work perfect.

These lights are still great after a year. Peace of mind knowing people behind me know when I am stooping or turning.



by:

Very easy to install. Just mount on back off box with 4 screws, plug it into trailer plug an your done.



by:

Excellent product. Solved a safety risk on my cargo box for my camper van.



by:

Nice lights. Installed easily. Lights are bright. Wire not as heavy as expected. Very fast shipping.



by:

This Lights were exactly what we needed to add to our Hollywood bike rake that hauls our fat tire ebikes. All supplies were included to make the attachment easy.



by:

These have been a great addition to my "FrankenHitch". I combined a Thule fold our bike rack with my large cargo basket and installed the light kit on it. The wiring was long enough to accompany the basket folding out all the way to the side of our Infiniti QX80. To allow some flexibility in using the light kit for other purposes, I purchased some waterproof bar magnets that hold the lights in place. They held up for the 1000+ mile round trip to the beach, multiple shorter trips and being stored outside, uncovered, through the PA winter and wet seasons.



by:

I needed to add lighting to the large drop down bike rack on my truck. The Let’s Go Aero Light Kit worked perfectly. I wanted light enclosures that would fit well on the rack frame and these were just right. The wiring plugged easily into the truck’s trailer hitch connector - voilà, safety for me and others. The quality is outstanding and a tremendous value.



by:

I bought these lights to put on my Hollywood bike rack and they work great. I had to fashion a bracket to hang them, a simple fix.
I feel much better having the extra lights on the rack in traffic with our large ebikes on the back of the car.



by:

Lights are very well made. Strong lens and very bright LED's. Comes with all necessary hardware and pre-wired for ease of installation. Good products from etrailer!



by:

The perfect solution for adding lights to my Hollywood eBike rack. LlThey look fantastic too.



by:

Haven't installed them yet cause I need to paint the Cargo Carrier first. They seem to be of good quality.



by:

Haven't hooked them up yet but customer service was great! I really like working w/ etrailer.com!

Nice light kit and very easy to install. Very well made.

  • Recommended Lights for Platform Bike Rack or Cargo Carrier Compatible with 4-Way Trailer Connection
    For your platform bike rack, I recommend the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540. This small kit will connect directly to your 4-way trailer wiring harness to give you stop/turn/running light functions. Another option is to use the LED Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, Pro Series, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers # 98174LED. This can use brackets like # BK70BB and self tapping screws like # FA1131822.

  • Could Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit # H01540 Attach to Rear of Vehicle
    Since the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit # H01540 was intended to install on a cargo carrier you'd have to get a little creative to install it on a 2007 Acura RDX. Since it's a stud mount you'd have to drill holes in the vehicle and attach the nuts and washers on the back side of the lights.

  • Best Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack Combination for a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van
    Using the Lets Go Aero GearCage FP4 Slide-Out Cargo Carrier # H01380 along with the Lets Go Aero Rack-IT # H01199 is a great solution for carrying cargo and bikes. You have the option to add some accessories like a lock # ACC3250, water resistant bag # HCR628, and lights # H01540 is you choose to. Even though I stated the weight capacities above, you need to check the weight capacity of your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van as well as the Wilco swing away receiver (if you choose to...

  • Is There an Easy Way to Add Tail Lights to a Bike Rack
    We do offer light kits for cargo baskets but the issue you'll run into is that there are really none for bike racks and you'll have to find a way to retrofit the cargo basket lights to a bike rack. The Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit part # H01540 is likely your best option for retrofitting as it has a built-in bracket which can either be zip tied onto or drilled and bolted through a surface. It's a complete kit as well so it comes with the lights, mounting brackets, and wiring harness. The...

  • Recommended Lighting Kit for Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack
    For your bike rack, I recommend the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540. This will easily work with your factory trailer connector. If you don't have the separate 4 way connection, then you can use adapter # PK12716.

  • Lighting Options for the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack
    I have a solution that would work well with your idea of creating a bracket but no there are no light kits made specifically for the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. If you were able to make your tee shaped structure you could attach the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers item # H01540 lights to it. This kit has stop, turn, and tail light functions. You would just need a 4-flat connector to power the lights. I recommend the...

  • What Replacement Tail Lights Fit My Lets Go Aero BossHog Cargo Carrier H01472?
    Yes! I confirmed with my tech at Lets Go Aero that the lights you need for your discontinued BossHog H01472 are the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540. This kit is the exact same kit that is used on the BossHog.

  • Will the Let's Go Aero LED Light Kit Light Up License Plate
    Eric, since the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540 sits right above where you'd mount your license plate it will put out some light on the license plate.

  • Recommended Solution for Bike Rack that Is Covering Taillights
    The Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540 isn't designed to be used on bike racks so you're correct it wouldn't work very well since it's made for cargo carriers. Since your bike is so large, and the options for taillight reroute kits are slim, I'd recommend going with a simple magnetic kit like the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights - 20' Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # TL21RK. This kit will plug into an existing 4-way trailer...

  • Light Kit for Bike Rack & Cargo Carrier
    There is definitely a light kit you can use with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier HR1450Z-85 on your 2016 Chevy Equinox. I recommend the Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit # H01540 because it comes with easy to use surface mounting brackets and has a 72" wiring harness, which will be enough for you to plug into the Curt Wiring Harness # C56210 that you mentioned you have on your '16 Equinox.

  • How to Draw Enough Power When Using LED Lights on a 2023 Ford Transit
    It is not uncommon for LED lights to not draw enough power for the 4-way or 7-way to work properly. If the # H01540 lights are not working when plugged into your 2023 Ford Transit, that is likely the cause. If you have a 7-way, you could use the 7-Way to 4-Way/5-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs # C35FR to correct this issue. If you only have a 4-way, you would want to add the Load Resistor Kit # DI34ZR to each of the light wires on the light...

  • Wiring Harness Connections for Cargo Carrier
    The etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # e98943-44LED will have brackets that are flush with the carrier and the lights will stick out slightly which is common with other light kits as well. The wiring harness like you are referring to will look almost identical as well. The harness will do the same thing. If you want more clearance on the back side you would need to splice in the 90 degree connectors # A47PB which will make the interference...

  • Recommended Solution to Add Tail Lights to Hollywood Racks SportRider SE2
    I recommend using the LED Light Kit for Draw-Tite, Tow Ready, Pro Series, and Rola Railed Cargo Carriers # 98174LED paired with the Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2" Oval Trailer Lights, Steel - Black Powder Coat # BK70BB on your Hollywood Racks SportRider. You can mount the brackets to the arms using some zip ties or self tapping screws, and then connect right to the 4 way connector on your 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon. I've linked a review video of these for you to check out as well.
