Baja Designs RTL-M License Plate Wiring Harness

 

Baja Designs RTL-M License Plate Wiring Harness is a six-foot extension designed to connect a license-plate-mounted RTL-M rear light to factory tail-light wiring. The added length helps bridge the distance between the compact rear light and the vehicle's existing signal circuits. Its universal format supports custom rear mounting on trucks, SUVs, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, and powersports equipment where the electrical layout is compatible.

The harness carries the functions used by the RTL-M installation, including running light, brake light, and cargo or reverse light operation. Splice connections allow those functions to tie into the corresponding vehicle circuits. This gives the compact rear light a cleaner route than extending each conductor with unrelated wire pieces.

Protective sheathing organizes the conductors along the six-foot run and helps shield them from abrasion during routing. Rear installations can be exposed to water, dust, cargo, exhaust heat, tire spray, and moving body or suspension components, so the final path must be chosen carefully. Secure attachment points also prevent the lead from hanging below the bumper or license plate area.

The extension is intended for the RTL-M license plate mounting application and does not include the light, mounting hardware, or a switch. Customers need to identify the correct vehicle running, brake, and cargo or reverse wires before making the splice connections. Some vehicles use multiplexed or combined signal circuits that may require additional interface planning.

A license-plate-mounted rear light can improve rear visibility while also placing useful white illumination near the plate or cargo area, depending on the selected RTL-M version and wiring strategy. The six-foot extension gives installers room to reach protected factory wiring rather than making all connections at the exposed mounting point. Final sealing of every splice is important for long-term service.

Whether customers are adding a compact rear light for trail visibility, brake indication, cargo illumination, or license plate use, the Baja Designs RTL-M License Plate Wiring Harness delivers organized signal routing to the factory tail-light area. Now Available at LEER!
