As for the light kit - Harbor Freight has a set that is made for use on a car in tow. The light bases are magnetic, but I think they could be fastened to the bed extender. I got mine on sale for around $10! I'm thinking I could use a velcro strap - easily removeable - but it may take some zip-ties for security.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

One point to reiterate is that the flags must be 12 inches square and also anything that extends over 4 foot must be marked with a flag at all extremes. At night, lights MUST be used in place of flags.

Exact Wording from the Florida Drivers Handbook:

Projecting Load
When a load extends to the rear 4 feet or more beyond the bed or body of the loaded vehicle, it must be clearly marked.
Nighttime
At night, or when you cannot see clearly, at least 1,000 feet ahead, the following markers must be used:
· Two red lamps on the back of the load which can be seen from at least 500 feet to the rear.
· Two red reflectors on the rear which can be seen at night from all distances between 100 and 600 feet when directly
in front of low- beam headlights. These reflectors should be placed to show the full width of the load. Two red lamps,
one on each side of the load, which can be seen.
· Two red lamps, one on each side of the load, which can be seen from at least 500 feet. These lamps should be
placed near the end of the projecting load.
Daytime
In the daytime, 4 red flags at least 12 inches square must be placed on the projecting load where red lamps are used at night (extreme rear
and sides).
NOTE: If the trailer or motor vehicle is transporting logs, long pulpwood, poles or posts that extend more than 4 feet beyond the rear of
the load, then you must have one amber strobe-type lamp equipped, so that the lamp is visible from the rear and both sides of the
projecting load. The lamp must be operational and seen any time of day or night.

A quick and dirty light that I use at night is a rear lamp for a bike. Most of them can detach and have a clip on them. I just clip it to the rear handle on my yak and turn it on strobe. Not sure if it's legal but I've driven by a number of police vehicles without a problem.
