First off, Yes I have wires hanging down. This was a test run to see how it would fit. I went with CURT 53201 Auxiliary Automotive LED Light Strips for the rack. I couldn't justify paying $100 for their lights and still having to drill and tap into the hitch rack. These were $20 off of Amazon. Easy to install. I went with 4 stars. Sadly, it came busted/scratched up, probably due to shipping. We all know how shipping companies are. Especially with heavy items. Some touch-up paint marker and it looks normal-ish. I do not like their no-wobble bolt (it's a skinnier bolt unlike the normal ones used). Even with it tightened down, it still wobbles. I will probably take it somewhere to have the holes drilled out to normal-sized hitch holes. That way you can fit the normal-sized bolts through the hitch arm post. I purchased their tie-downs as well. They work well, but I meant to get the ratchet one, not the tie-downs. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone. It is easy to put together, It's heavy-duty, and it will hold up long-term.
