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.

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.

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!

Needed rear license holder when installing new Bragman LED surface mount lights.
Holder was easy to install an works great.

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!

I would say that this is not normal with this bracket. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
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.

Many a loaded trailer trips and all is still doing great! Its so nice when a product works like it should!

I did a little engineering on it, but it did a great job. Even a Police Officer at the beach commented positively about it.

Perfect! And of course E-Trailers service is consistently fantastic! Thanks team!

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: John08/12/2023
Wish it had been made of metal and a little more depth for wiring storage.
by: No long a customer11/07/2022
Warning, this item does not run off of batteries!
I hope you have not received this because etrailer is not responsible for shipping on returned items! This item will cost me more to return (shipping) then it's worth! I guess I'm just supposed to throw it away and be happy about. This is a bad return policy!!!
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.

- Light Kit for Thule TH903202 EasyFold Bike Rack that Blocks Taillights and License PlateI'd recommend installing a 4-pole trailer connector, like # 118412. As far as a light kit goes, we don't offer anything purpose-built for a bike rack, but we do offer options that could work for you. Installation would involve attaching 2 taillight brackets and a license plate bracket to the # TH903202 EasyFold bike rack. I'd recommend you use a light kit meant for a cargo carrier, like part # 98174LED. You'll also need a license plate bracket/lamp like # LPL55CB. The power wire for the...

You'd simply be taking the brown running light wire from the trailer harness and running it to the black power wire from the light.

I was able to see several different styles of license plate lights and holders on trailers. I have attached a link to our product page for license plate lights.

This kit is designed specifically for the Optronics brackets like their LED # LPL55CB, which has a really similar design to the one in the picture you attached. I can't say for certain that the nut won't rub up against the surface of the trailer, but you can compare the depth of your bracket's mounting holes...

- How To Add License Plate Kit To 2020 Master Tow DollySome tow dollies like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 come with a license plate bracket. If the 2020 Master Tow Dolly did not come with a license plate bracket then you can use Trailer License Plate Mount Bracket part # LPL55CB. You will probably need to drill through the fender of the tow dolly or the frame to install it. The bracket does include a LED light to light up the license plate so you would need to splice the black wire into the running light circuit and ground the...

I also have a Optronics License Plate Holder, # LP35BB, that you could use. It mounts by one screw in the center and then the license plate attaches to the holder.

- How to Install a License Plate Light on a Cargo Carrier for Use in CaliforniaI believe I have a solution for you, but it will require you to install trailer wiring on your 2010 Toyota Prius. For trailer wiring you will want the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 118505. This will give you a 4-way with a running light circuit that you could use to power a light for the license plate that would only come on when your headlights are on. You will then have to mount a lighted license plate bracket on your cargo carrier like the part # LPL55CB. You will run the black...

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...

- Relocating License Plate and Bracket on a Utility TrailerI recommend using something like and L-bracket, such as # CE26098G, that you can attach to the top rail near the end of the trailer. Then you can attach a bracket such as # LPL55CB (may have to do some drilling/modify the L-bracket). Then you can ground the license plate bracket to the nearby frame of the trailer and the power wire to the running light circuit. The wiring can be run along the frame to the nearest tail light for the power wire. You can use wire ties or even metal loom claps...
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...

- LED Light on a license Plate Bracket Flashes and Will Not Stay OnSounds like the lights are hyperflashing. This can occur if the load is not sufficient like you have said. You will need a load resistor like # DI34ZR to provide enough load to allow the light to come on properly.
view full answer... - How To Wire Up the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate LightIn regards to the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light part # LPL55CB, the black wire is for power and the white wire is a ground. The black wire will be hooked up to the running light circuit which is usually a brown wire. If you have a ground circuit nearby you could tap into this or just use a screw and ground it straight to metal.
view full answer... - Making License Plate Light Kit Adapter for Spare Tire Carrier To make a license plate light that you could add to your spare carrier you could use the part # LPL55CB to provide the light and plate bracket and then for wiring use run a # HM48110 to it so that you could plug in when needed. Basically you'd run the brown wire of the 4-way to the black of the light and then the white to white and you'd be set.

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. The license plate lights we have are all designed for the rear of trailers which is why there is not a plug-in option available. I have added a link to each of our license...
view full answer... - Do You Have License Plate Brackets for TrailersYes, we sell license plate brackets separately. There are several options including some with lighting for the plate. I would recommend the Trailer License Plate Mount Bracket, Heavy Duty Zinc Steel, item # LP15SB, if you just need a mounting bracket and if you need the light for the plate the Heavy-Duty, LED Trailer License-Plate Light w/ Mounting Bracket, item # LPL55CB would be a good choice.

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... - Do Cargo Carriers Need To Be Registered Like a TrailerThe Flint Hill Goods # FHG69ZR Cargo Carrier isn't a trailer. Rather than being towed behind the vehicle, the carrier attaches to the 2-inch trailer hitch. The carrier doesn't have wheels or a VIN number, so it doesn't meet the legal definition of a trailer. However, there are two possible legal ramifications of using a cargo carrier. 1) If the carrier or the items placed on it blocks the taillights, you'll want to install a light kit on the carrier.
