Product Review in Trailer Life Magazine

 

From the June 2008 issue of Trailer Life Magazine:

I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
Once you get the hang of it, hitching up can be mostly trouble-free; however, certain moments can sometimes require some much appreciated extra help. One of those moments is while hitching up at night. Because most tow-vehicle reverse lights provide limited illumination of the hitch area, the process is usually relegated to a helper holding a flashlight.
White Night rear lighting systems of Hendersonville, North Carolina, has developed a universal lighting system for hitching assistance, and it can also be used for other applications. Using two 55-watt halogen lamps encased in high-impact ABS, the White Night is designed to fit nearly any tow vehicle by simply using the correct install kit. Along with the lighting system, I suggest using White Night’s optional Plug N’ Go adapter No. 4149. Using the Plug N’ Go eliminates the need for hard-wiring as long as the tow vehicle is equipped with a standard seven-pin receptacle and has a charge line wired in.
During testing of White Night’s Fixed Mount No. 4199, which is designed to mount on a 2-inch receiver, I had to use large chain quick links to extend the safety chain loops below the housing. White Night, however, is up front about specific application issues and provides several mounting options that take varied interferences into consideration. Also, once the White Night was in place, the holes for the safety pin did not line up. The company suggests drilling new holes, but that can be somewhat problematic for most owners. An easier solution is to use a receiver extension; keep in mind this may impact handling for some combinations by further extending the distance from the rear axle of the tow vehicle to the ball.
Using the Plug N’ Go adapter brought the total installation time to about 10 minutes. In use, the White Night’s rear lighting system far exceeded my expectations, not to mention overall quality. An immense amount of rear lighting made hitching in the dark no different than in daylight — and my helper was able to stash the flashlight. There’s a three-way switch for manual use or you can set it up to automatically come on when the backup lights are illuminated. The White Night rear lighting system now has permanent residence on my truck and I have found a number of additional uses for the lights when in camp.
The White Night basic system retails for $89.95, the Plug N’ Go is priced at $13.99 and install kits range from about $10-15 depending on the model.
