Plasticolor Ford Lighted Hitch Cover - Red LED Brake/Running Light, Fits 2" & 1-1/4" Receivers

Plasticolor's Ford LED Lighted Hitch Cover is an officially licensed hitch plug that keeps your trailer receiver clean while lighting as a red brake light when wired to your vehicle.

This lighted hitch cover combines branded style with practical protection: a durable plastic plug that fills your vehicle's receiver, resists corrosion, and connects to your wiring harness so the embedded LED functions as a running light and turns red with your brakes. The kit includes interchangeable receiver stems and attachment screws for both standard hitch sizes so it fits most passenger vehicles, trucks, and SUVs with a 2" or 1-1/4" receiver. A hitch pin or locking pin is required to secure the assembly and is not included.

How does this hitch cover connect to my vehicle's wiring?

The cover wires into your vehicle's existing light harness so the LED mirrors your brake and running lights. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic vehicle wiring, and the LED operates as a running light until the brakes are applied, when it switches to red.

• Attaches to vehicle light harness for running and brake light function
• Wiring uses common splice or adapter methods (vehicle-specific connectors may be needed)
• Includes screws and two receiver stems for secure fit before pinning

Will this fit my trailer hitch receiver and how is it secured?

The package includes stems sized for both 2" and 1-1/4" receivers, and each stem has multiple pre-drilled holes to line up with your hitch's locking pin location. After choosing the appropriate stem and attaching it with the supplied screws, you must use a hitch pin or lock (not included) to fasten the plug in place.

• Comes with 2" and 1-1/4" receiver stems for universal fit
• Multiple installation holes accommodate various pin positions
• Requires separate hitch pin or locking pin to secure (not included)

Is installation difficult and do I need extra parts?

Installation is manageable for most DIYers with basic tools: select the correct stem, attach with included screws, splice or connect the wiring to your light harness, and secure with a hitch pin or lock. You may need a vehicle-specific connector or wire taps depending on your vehicle's wiring setup.
