Stop risking fines and rear-end collisions. The Safelite Panel V2 is the premium bike rack light bar Kiwi drivers trust to stay safe and legal on the road. Designed and built right here in New Zealand, this bike rack light board delivers bright, reliable bike rack lights that keep your indicators, brake lights and number plate fully visible the moment bikes go on the back of your car.

V2 is the same proven panel with more ways to mount it. Four new fixture locations and four bungee cords (up from two) mean it sits tighter, straighter and more securely across a far wider range of racks.

What's new in V2

  • Four new fixture locations for more mounting options on more rack styles.
  • Four bungee cords supplied instead of two, so the panel is held firmly at four points rather than two.
  • Centre indent for single-pole racks, so single-pole setups now mount cleanly without improvising.
  • Left and right mounts beside the lights, which let you pull the panel tight and centred on racks that suit neither a two-pole nor a single-pole fitting.
  • Updated number plate holes that fit every current New Zealand supplementary plate design.
  • Foam backing, coming soon - a foam-backed version of the V2 panel is on its way, to cushion the panel against your bikes and rack. Watch this space.

Which racks does it fit?

  • Two-pole racks remain the ideal fit, using the main mounting positions.
  • Single-pole racks mount through the centre indent.
  • Other racks use the left and right mounts beside the lights to hold the panel tight and centred.

Why Kiwi drivers choose the Safelite bike rack light bar

  • On in seconds, off in seconds - four heavy-duty bungee cords with easy-lock toggles secure the light bar fast. No tools, no fuss, no fiddling in the rain.
  • Built tough for NZ roads - made from UV-stable, waterproof aluminium composite. This bike rack light bar shrugs off rain, dust, salt spray and the everyday knocks that destroy cheap imported bike rack lights.
  • Bright, water-resistant LED bike rack lights - manufactured to Safelite's own specification for maximum visibility day and night. Be seen from further away and drive with confidence.
  • Plug-and-play wiring - 1.4 m of cable terminating in a standard flat 7-pin trailer plug. Plugs straight into any standard NZ towbar socket. No wiring, no adapters, no trips to the auto electrician.
  • Number plate ready - pre-drilled holes and bolts supplied, ready to fit your NZTA supplementary number plate and keep you 100% road legal.
  • Stores neatly - arrives in a recyclable cardboard box that fits in any car boot and doubles as a storage case between trips.

Getting your supplementary number plate

To be fully road-legal in New Zealand, you'll need a supplementary number plate fitted to your Safelite bike rack light bar. Plates are ordered directly through Licensys, the authorised supplier of NZ number plates. Head to consumer.licensys.co.nz, apply online, pay and have your plate delivered, then bolt it straight onto the mounting holes on your Safelite panel.

Yes, almost certainly. Mounting holes suit inner and outer distances from 31 cm to 52 cm, so the Safelite Panel fits virtually every bike rack sold in New Zealand, whether you run a Thule, Yakima, Prorack or budget tow-ball rack. Two heavy-duty bungee cords with easy-lock toggles secure it in seconds.

If your bikes or rack cover your car's lights or number plate, the law requires you to make them visible. The Safelite Panel is NZTA compliant and comes with pre-drilled holes and bolts ready for your supplementary number plate, keeping you road legal and avoiding fines and demerits.
