Looks great: Exterior accessories

Looks great. Running light and as an additional brake light. The skull is light and visible. This is a replacement for my first one which was damaged by a snowblower. Overall really good.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Not 5 stars. on Capes

Disappointed. 2 things had to be purchased that should be mentioned: 1) Needed a 4 wire extension cord as the one supplied was too short to go from the hitch to the socket and 2) a locking pin to keep it from slipping out.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Very expensive

Black over chrome made him happy.

This was a Christmas present for my son. The first one I bought was chrome and wanted a black skull that glowed red. I reordered the black and sent back the chrome and he just loves the black skull.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative experience

Great hitch cap - but short receiver wire

Like it, great new hitch cap is short - if your plug is not near the hitch you will need an extension cord. I have a 4Runner and it doesn't even come close to the fork. Therefore only 4 stars

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • None

Normal and Breakthrough Light

I wasn't sure how red light would look through black. Looks really cool. I was worried it would be cheesy - it's a lot of fun and cool. During the day, when the headlights are off, the black one works fine. At night, when the daytime running lights are on, they come on. When pauses are applied, it is light.

Pros
  • Ultimate Legend
Cons
  • Expandable

Looks cool but is all plastic and requires an adapter

Assembly required. It's not metal, it's plastic. Looks pretty cool BUT unless you have a 7 pin to 4 pin adapter which I'm pretty sure most don't have. You have to spend almost another $30 to buy it to make it work. Looks cool but costs more

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Some small things

The product was very easy to install and looks great

The product was very easy to install and looks great. Except it doesn't actually work. I have a problem with the wiring. The plug has an intermittent connection, so my truck keeps warning me that it's going to be plugged in, then unplugged, then plugged in, etc. This happens continuously with every trip. My trailer has no such wiring problems. The problem is so serious that I don't even try to connect it. Otherwise I get a warning every 5 seconds. Connected beep. Beep is off. sound signal. It's

Attention, the cars of the latest models! Tow strap alerts galore!

The product itself is fine, the instructions are easy to use, the typical plastic jewellery, probably last 2 or 3 months in the sun and a travel companion for bathing. but it's normal. It is what it is :) 2 star fake because as other reviewers have said. <facepalm> This thing doesn't get in the way of left or right turn signals, so the warning systems on modern vehicles with tow straps will freak out and yell at you about it, which is annoying to say the least. It could probably have been

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
