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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

A year has passed since I installed my LED trailer tag light/bracket and it’s still working as good as the day I installed it.

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.

This plate mount with light is the exact replacement part for my boat trailer.
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: 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.
by: Scott03/16/2019
I’m very happy with these LED tail lights. Bought them to replace the ones that came on the trailer. They are bright and seem to be of high quality. They were easy to install. The only slight drawback is that it’s a bit tricky to get the wires to lay flat enough against the light to get it to sit flush with the back of the trailer. But in the end it worked fine. I would recommend these as a good replacement for older, smaller, incandescent tail lights.
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!!!

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- License Plate Mounting Bracket Solution for Ladder on Class B MotorhomeThank you for all of the details and photos! For your application I recommend using the Thule License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # TH35JV along with the 6' Long Roadmaster Extension Loop # RM-300150-00. This gives you exactly what you're needing and eliminates the need to hardwire connections like you'd need to do with the LED Bracket # 328-003-70BE or Optronics # LPL55CB. The Thule bracket also comes with straps to mount it so you can wrap those around your ladder rungs which will not...

- License Plate Bracket With Light that Has 4-Way Trailer Wiring ConnectorIs this for a front plate you are looking for a light for additional visibility? Or a license plate light for the rear and you want to use like 4-way trailer wiring connection?
view full answer... - What Bulb Does The Optronics Round Trailer License Plate Light With Mount Ears Use?To remove bulbs from the Round Trailer License Plate Light with Mount Ears - Chrome Plated # LP71CB, you simply remove the screws on the outside mount, remove a plastic dome and rotate the bulb to remove. The bulb is a CT67. We don't have any LED replacement options for this bulb. We don't offer them in black instead of chrome. If you want a black LED option, I recommend the # LPL55CB. I've attached a video for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Bracket Recommendation for Moving RV License Plate for Increased VisibilityIt really just depends on the mood of the police officer. At least in our area they don't really mess with RVers who happened to have a plate that's not visible. But that can really depend on where you are at and how bored the cop would be. Moving the plate should be too hard either. A bracket like the part # CE26053A would be the easiest way to do it but then if you wanted to run a bracket with a light you would need the # LPL55CB. You would need to tap into the running light circuit...
view full answer... - License Plate Relocation Bracket For Hitch Step That Blocks License PlateIt wouldn't really be possible to mount a license plate to the Carr Mega Step Fold-Up Step - 2" Hitch - 14" Long part # CARR190011B because you would need to install it on the side of the step to have enough ground clearance. It may be possible to use self tapping screws into the step to mount the license plate on the side but it wouldn't look like it belonged. If the step blocks your license plate, I recommend to use a license plate relocation bracket like part # LPL55CB to relocate...
view full answer... - Recommended License Plate Relocation Bracket to Use with the Roadmaster Spare Tire CarrierTo relocate your license plate if the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is blocking it, you can use the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket - 5 Diodes - Clear Lens # LPL55CB. This bracket does come with a 5 diode light that you can wire in so that your new license plate bracket can illuminate the license plate. I've linked a short review video of this for you to have a look at.
view full answer... - Using Optronics Hardware # LP52HP to Secure License Plate to Factory Flush Bracket on New TrailerThe Optronics Hardware Kit # LP52HP that you referenced is indeed the best option we have available for securing the license plate to the factory bracket on your new travel trailer. 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...

- Surface Mounted Taillight With Turn/Brake/Taillight/Reverse and License Plate LampsWe don't offer a flat surface mount lamp that would include the license plate lamp, but the Diamond Group # DG52721PB would provide stop/turn/taillight and the reverse lamp. For a license plate lamp, you can mount something like # OPT77FR above the plate or if you'd prefer a combo plate bracket/lamp, you could use # LPL55CB. Another option would be to use a surface mount lamp that isn't flat, but would provide incandescent stop/turn/taillight/reverse lamps and license plate lamp/bracket...
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.
view full answer... - What is a Recommended License Plate Light for a Cargo Carrier?The best option for you to use a license plate light with your Pro Series Cargo Carrier, # 63153, would be to get the available cargo carrier light kit, # 20174. The kit plugs into a trailer wiring harness on your vehicle for turn, stop and running light functions. After that, the LED Trailer License-Plate Light with Mounting Bracket, # LPL55CB, can be mounted on the carrier and lit by tapping into the running light circuit wire from the light kit.
view full answer... - License Plate Bracket for Cargo Carrier When It's Down For Use and Up For Storage I do have a potential solution for you, however we don't have a folding license plate holder available that you could use in different orientations, whether your hitch-mounted carrier is down for use or folded up against the rear of the vehicle. The best option I can offer is to simply use a single license plate bracket like the Optronics # LPL55CB. You can use some wing nuts, washers, and bolts for mounting that let you easily move the bracket/plate when needed. You would drill a couple...
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...
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.

This uses a hook and loop strap to attach to your bikes or your rack and is quick, easy, and temporary. The downside to this style is that it isn't lighted, so you would either have to avoid driving at night or go with the second option. The second option is a LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB. This will require cable ties or drilling to secure...
view full answer... - How To Wire LED Trailer License Plate Light For Cargo Carrier To A 4 Way FlatI have a solution for you to hook up the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB to your 2021 Subaru Ascent without tapping into the wiring. You could install Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Connector - Trailer End - Jacketed - 48" # HM38134 into the 4 way flat plug at the back of your vehicle which would provide you with 4 bare wires. You could then wire the white ground wire on the LED lights to the white wire on the Hopkins 4 way harness. Then...

- Submersible License Plate Light and Bracket for Boat TrailerWe do have license plate lights that are submersible and can be used on your boat trailer, though the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB is not submersible. Instead, you will need the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light with Bracket - Submersible # LPL56CB. I have added a link to a video review of this light for you to check out.

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.

You could mount the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB on the carrier. Then for power, you can use a trailer end connector like the # HM48110 to power the light on the license plate bracket. If you don't already have a 4-way you would also need the # 118467. The black wire on the light will connect to the brown wire which is the running lights,...

There is nothing with this style or size that does. I recommend using a separate light like the LED Mini Trailer License Plate Light, 2 Diode - Chrome Plated # LPL31CB for this.

There is nothing available that's specifically designed to relocate your license plate, but you could probably fabricate something using a license plate bracket/light like part # LPL55CB and a cargo carrier light kit like # 20174. Light brackets like part # BK70BB would be needed to mount the lamps to the bike rack. You'd also need to install a trailer wiring harness...

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...

You may need to use 10 Gauge Primary Wire - Blue # 10-1-1 (sold per foot) in order to run the necessary wiring from your vehicle to the license plate light. I have attached an installation video...
