**What is Hitch Hikers and how does it work?**
Hitch Hikers are animated, light-up hitch accessories that make your signals impossible to miss, thus helping prevent accidents and adding personality to your ride. Each Hitch Hiker mounts in your vehicle’s hitch receiver and connects easily to your trailer wiring. When you use your turn signals or brakes, the puppet lights up and moves, alerting other drivers with a fun and attention-grabbing display.
