8-5/8" x 3-1/4". LED trailer light with ABS mounting bracket illuminates your license plate. Durable polycarbonate lens and housing. Surface mount to trailer with bracket. 2-Wire design.by: Brian07/30/2018
This is one of the few license plate lights that would work for me. As you can see in the picture I have it mounted on top of the license plate, above the lamp. The attached bracket made for an easy installation. The wires were kind of short (about 8") because of the way I mounted it so I had to extend to wires.
I did not want to mount my plate on the bottom of the tail lamp assembly to utilize the built-in license plate light because it was to low to the ground and was always dragging loading and unloading the trailer. The product made an easy DIY modification to keep me on the good side of the men and women in blue.

Based on other reviews of these lights, I had no doubt that they would be brighter than the Bargman Series 92 incandescent lights that came standard on my trailer. The issue was whether or not the 12-13 degree return slope on the back of my trailer (see picture) would adversely affect their visibility because some LED lights are "directional. The bottom line is that I think they work very well despite the slight downward aim. The attached video shows my test of one of the new lights taped into position (right) compared to one of the old lights (left). The video does not due justice to the brightness of the new fixture, but you can clearly see how much sharper the "flash" of the light is compared to the old one. Two notes regarding installation; (1) there is very little space in the back of the fixture for wires so you need to be able to center the fixture on the whole in the trailer to push extra wire into, and (2) yo can configure these lights to be 1/2 stop/tail and 1/2 turn/tail if your trailer is wired appropriately.

Product worked perfectly for what we were using it for. I purchased a motorcycle and needed to move the license plate bracket to be able to add bags. I found your bracket online, knowing we were going to have to jerry rig it to where we wanted to mount it. I was a little suprised the bracket was plastic when I received it, but still worked great. A friend made 2 mounting brackets from a flat bar, cutting and bending them to the length and angle we needed. Drilled holes and mounted them under the rear fender. Mounted the license plate bracket on the other ends of the custom brackets and wired it in for lights.

Only 1 of the 5 LED’s work. Disappointing.
The picture isn’t that great due to the reflection, but only the center led is lit.
by: Gil03/05/2012
Just wanted to tell you that I have finally installed the product I ordered
from etrailer.com, and I must say that it is by far the best product I have
ever used. They are bright, and very visible even during daytime. Attached is the finished product that I installed on my travel trailer. I
hope that other consumer like me will find this very helpful to buy from
etrailer.com.

Holder was easy to install an works great.

Exceptional and inexpensive LED-lit license plate mount/bracket.
I ordered this item (online) on a Sunday, and received a human confirmation e-mail that evening! Item was shipped the next day (Monday). Very Easy installation. Photos (3) attached. If you need an illuminated license plate bracket, BUY THIS ONE!

Nice sturdy bracket and matches my new tail lights. Led and bright. Just what I wanted. I will attach a photo.

This license bracket was just what I needed to replace a broken one on my RV. This unit is well made, with a nice finish and a bright light. Better than original equipment!

The Clear plastic lens keeps coming unsnaped from the rubber base. Had to use gorilla glue to keep it in place.

They are still working great and looking good
by: Paul T.08/05/2017
This kit works, but not in the configuration delivered. If you purchase this, be prepared to find an alternate method to mount the lights. You will likely need to modify the cargo carrier to make this work.
The lights are sealed units that are normally flush mounted on larger trailers. Mounts have been added with self-tapping screws that easily strip out of the housing and the mounts fall off the lights. The screws in the kit were smaller in diameter than the holes in the mounts, both front and back, making them useless. I tried attaching the lights using zip ties and just the mount on the light portion, but that failed when the mount screws stripped out of the lights. I did not have the issue with the wiring being too short like other reviewers. My wiring was actually a little too long.
To actually install this kit reliably, here what you need:
- Silicone
- Super Glue
- Screwdriver (Flat or Phillips Depending on Screw Choice)
- Wire Cutters (To Cut the Ends off of Anchors)
- 9/32" Drill Bit
- 4x #6x1.5" Machine Screw
- 4x #6x0.75" Anchors
How I installed mine:
1. Remove the plastic bracket supplied with the light. Fill the holes with silicone so that the lights are sealed again. Check in a couple minutes to ensure that the silicone didn't drip through. Add more as needed until the hole is filled.
2. Trim the ends off of your anchors so that they fit in the two plastic circles on the back of the lights. Just a little bit will do. Test fit them to make sure they go all the way in. Once you're sure they fit, super glue just the bevel at the top to the light. This is to prevent them from turning in the hole because the plastic on the light is really smooth.
3. Drill two 9/32" holes in the rear upright bars of the carrier. Make the holes 1/4" from the edge so you can still connect the wiring. Space the holes at 2 5/16". The holes need to go through the front and back of the uprights.
4. Put the screws through the back holes pointing outwards. Once the super glue has dried, screw the screws into the anchors.
5. Connect the wiring per the supplied instructions.

All is well. Thanks
by: Jack 06/13/2020
This worked very well to mount and light my license plate when I removed the OEM lights that had an integrated mounting for the plate. It was easy to mount and wire to the existing trailer license plate lighting circuit. I'm very pleased with the finished result.

It has worked perfectly. Illuminates the license plate and provides a mounting point.

Wish it had been made of metal and a little more depth for wiring storage.

I like the idea that this product has a lifetime warranty on the lights if they should burn out. Very pleased with the difference over factory installed lights.

Very Well, Well made
by: Gene W02/07/2020
I love the LED tail lights that I purchased for our travel trailer. Exceptionally bright and they give me a lot more confidence driving down the road both in daylight hours and after dark. The trailer manufactures should be installing these tail lights from the get go. They were easy to hookup and install and the full size foam rubber gasket makes a great seal. The picture you see with my review isn't of the tail lights.
by: Harvey L.05/11/2011
I ordered the LED License plate light/bracket to replace an old broken one on my 1984 13' Scamp camp trailer. The renovation of my trailer is not yet complete but the new light/bracket along with the new LED tail/signal/brake lights also from etrailer, will make the old camper look like new from the rear. The composite, non-metal construction should insure long life that is free from rust, & the LED lights will 'draw' less energy while lasting much longer than incandescent.

- Is there a License Plate Frame for Snap-In License Plate, Utility or Dash Light # LP11CBSnap-In License Plate, Utility or Dash Light # LP11CB, when used as a license plate light, fits into a 1-1/4 inch hole in a bumper; usually found on trucks with step bumpers. There isn't a license plate frame that has a 1-1/4 inch hole. The hole would have to be put into the frame if used on a trailer. Another option is to use a license plate frame with a built in light such as # LP55CB or # LPL55CB.

You can one for each of your vehicles to simply mount the plate in a different location. It just requires a flat surface that's at least 8-5/8" long and 3-1/4" tall. This bracket also includes a built-in LED to illuminate the license plate. I have attached a short video review that you can...
view full answer... - Does Vehicle License Plate Need to Relocated When Using Hitch Cargo CarrierThe legality of an obscured rear license plate varies from state to state. If you want to heed the letter of the law, the plate can be relocated to the rear of the cargo carrier. We sell quite a few cargo carriers, and to be honest, it is really not that much of an issue. You could zip tie the plate to your carrier, or use a bracket with a light like part # LPL55CB (In most states, the rear license plate is required to be lit after dark). If your vehicle has a trailer connector, you...
view full answer... - Installing 2-Wire Lighted License Plate Bracket on TrailerWhen wiring a 2-wire license plate bracket, such as the Optronics LED # LPL55CB, you are correct that the white wire will be for ground and the black wire is used for the running lights. The white wire from the bracket should be attached to a clean, bare metal surface on the trailer frame for a secure ground. As you mentioned, the brown wire on your trailer is most likely the correct wire to tap into for the black wire on the bracket, but you will want to verify this by testing the wires...

Basically it would install between your current license plate bracket and the top license plate mounting holes and it would be mounted. A better and very similar product that would be easier to install would be the part # LPL55CB since this has a two wire setup. The black wire would need to tap into the running light circuit of your vehicle and the white wire would need to...

- How To Wire License Plate Light/Bracket With 3 Wire ConnectionMost Trailer License Plate Lights with a Bracket like the Optronics # LPL55CB you found are only going to have 2 wires a power and ground for the light. It looks like yours has either an additional light for either a reverse light or brake light. While I cannot tell who manufactured your light you are most likely going to have to test the light with a 12 volt battery to determine which wires are power and for which function and which is the ground. Typically white or black are the most...

Keep in mind that...
view full answer... - License Plate Location on Rola Enclosed Cargo CarrierThat is an interesting issue. What I would do is use a secondary bracket for the plate, # LP15SB. You could secure it to the underside of the tray so when folded up you will have a bracket there. Or you could attach a bracket with a light, # LPL55CB, and splice the light into the same wire used for the light on your Rola carrier. A quick and dirty solution would be to bungee cord it to the carrier with some bungees like # EM06664 which is 19" . That may not be pretty but it would work.

I'd recommend you use a license plate bracket/lamp like part # LPL55CB. You could use wing nuts, fender washers and bolts that would allow you to quickly move the plate with a minimum of fuss. When the # 6502 carrier is folded down, you could need to drill holes in the edge of the carrier to attach the plate. When the carrier...

If you have a ground circuit nearby you could tap into this or just use a screw and ground it straight to metal.

Now if the trailer has an aluminum frame it would not be a good enough conductor for this to work and you'd have to run jumper wires from each light's ground to the ground of the harness. So I'd first try improving the main ground wire of the 4-way on the trailer frame and if...
view full answer... - License Plate Holder and Light for Use on Ramped Utility TrailerYou can add a license plate holder and light to your ramped utility trailer either with a single item such as # LPL55CB or # PM436B, or you can choose separate plate holders and lights to let you choose the designs you most prefer, such as plate holder part # CR30830 and light part # LPL12CKM2B. It may be easiest to use one product; my choice would be # LPL55CB since its LED light uses much less power than a typical bulb light (only about one-tenth as much power). You will make a 2-wire...

- License Plate Light and Bracket That can be RemovedEach of the license plate lights we carry are going to require splicing with a power wire. The Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB, for example, can be removed if you like by unscrewing it but the light is going to require a ground and the power lead be spliced into your running light wire.
