Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

It was an exact replacement so it fit perfectly. It only took a few minutes to install.



by:

This license plate light was what I anticipated. When I installed it, it wouldn't light up. I had to screw around with it to get it to light up. I have not used the trailer. I hope it works in use.

easy to install and it worked the very 1st time. Thank you for fast shipping.

@CarolynC Happy to hear that!

Searching for a license plate light, I found etrailer and liked that they had lots to choose from.The pictures and the video were great, I decided to buy the light with the license plate bracket. It was well made, easy to attach and included the bolts to attach the plate. The light was exactly what I wanted and fit perfect for my application. I would recommend this company to any one looking for these kind of products.



by:

In Michigan any steel will rust given time. Rather than relying on the bracket's mounting screws for ground I ran a wire through the rubber grommet in the rear and terminated it with a ring terminal. Easy and probably worth while.



by:

Excellent price and fast shipping

Nice like that it a steel Bracket



by:

I got a backup camera for my RV. My license plate holder/ license light were bad, I took the number off the light case Google it and it came right up. I ordered it less than 5 days ago and it came today. The quality is better than my factory one. So happy with the low cost, quality and fast shipping.



by:

I ordered the same one that came with the trailer so it fit like a glove.

I purchased the Peterson License Plate Light w/ Steel Mounting Bracket - Incandescent - Gray Housing - Clear Lens for my camper. Easy to order, great price, received quickly, easy to install, quality construction, just what I needed. Super service, I couldn't be more pleased or impressed with your company. A true pleasure doing business with you!



by:

I ordered a number of items for a trailer that I am bringing back to life after leaving is stand at the beach for nearly 12 years. I got great advice on what parts I needed to match the original Haulmark lights and license plate bracket/light and also ordered a new breakaway system and safety chains. Everything was priced reasonably, shipped in a timely fashion and was a cinch to install as it all fit right to the original footprints.
I also found answers to my questions on some electrical issues by browsing the Q&A sections here.
Happy customer.



by:

Needed a new bracket for my trailer as the old one was under the frame and got knocked off and lost due to hitting high ground. Placed it on the back ramp so it would not get damaged close to the ground. Welded a cross piece and then bolted your bracket to it. Perfect for what I needed. Would recommend to anyone who needs a similar item.



by:

Full after a year of having that trailer like the bulb burned out and the plastic on the bracket broke it's not really worth the money that you're asking for it I'm sorry but the product doesn't hold up to what it should hold up so if you buy one can buy it for 6 months and I live in Stuart Florida and the weather down here I guess is more extreme than any place else in the country so it is a product that it's good for 6 months only after 6 months can throw it in the garbage can



by:

This bracket solved my problem of the lower factory mounted one so i mounted this one on the gate of my 5x8 carry on utility trailer used some washers and bolts to sandwich them together and ran a wire from my running light on the tail light on the trailer and it stays on when my lights are on so all in all this saved my day ill never lose another license plate again



by:

Purchased this lighted license plate holder to replace the original on my 1994 car hauler which had become corroded and stopped working. New one fit perfect and restored the light function, so my trailer is legal once again!



by:

A quality product at a good price with fast shipping.

Solved the problem of my low hanging license plate which was originally installed on the factory mounting location. This product allowed me to move it higher off the ground and prevent the plate from being bent or ripped off.

Also the illumination of the plate was brighter than the factory bulbs.



by:

I bought this trailer plate light to replace the one that rusted and fell apart. I was very pleased with this product. It was easy to install and now my trailer looks brand new again. Thanks for making this item available so I could repair my trailer.



by:

Trailer light and license plate bracket, had a how to video made it easy for me to install on my trailer.
One year later it still works and looks like new.



by:

Very nice tag holder. Very bright. This is replacing a factory plastic one. Very happy with my purchase.

Fine no problems



by:

Great price, simple easy installation, perfect for a custom made or utility trailer that does not have one. Just have to add a ground wire to ensure proper grounding if mounting to frame like those on folding trailers which don't always have good ground contact.



by:

Nice looking as license plates go. Works very well, just as advertised and yes I
would buy again.
Best prices , fast shipping , and they also have a customer service department
that is a customer service that works with people.......
THANK YOU etrailer



by:

Could not find license plate holder locally. Google search led me to etrailer and with Sherry’s assistance was able to obtain the part I needed. Thank you for your help.

  • License Plate Bracket Needed for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
    We do have license plate brackets like part # LP10SB that you could use to move your license plate so it sits behind the 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205-2201. If you plan on driving at night time you should make sure to have a bracket with a light like part # PM436B. If you go this route then you will also need a wiring harness like part # HM38134 (you will connect the wire from the light to the brown wire and then cap off the additional wires for this application). Butt connectors...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier and Lighting for 2014 Acura MDX
    Everything looks perfect! Starting with the wiring harness, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118628 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2014 Acura MDX and is exactly the harness that I would recommend. This custom-fit harness will install by connecting directly to the built-in port behind the driver side trim panel. This will give you a 4-Way at the rear of your MDX to connect with and power a trailer's signal lights. I have attached an installation video on your...

    The over 80 inch trailer lights are all over 8 inches wide. We do carry surface mount lights that are less than 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall but they are not rectangle in shape, they are oval. These options may work for your application. The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, Flange Mount, 10-Super Diode, item # STL78RB, is mounted 7 inches on center and is only 3/4 inch deep.

  • Recommended Replacement License Plate Light
    We don't have an exact replacement for that license plate bulb. I recommend replacing the entire unit with the Peterson License Plate Light with Bracket, # PM436B. The internal parts are all stainless steel or brass to extend the life of this unit. I've attached a video for you.

  • How to Mount Bike Carrier Without Obstructing Rear License Plate from View
    In many states if your rear license plate is obstructed from view by a bike rack, luggage rack or a similar device, a vehicle owner has the option to obtain a temporary license plate. This third license plate is a paper document that is placed on the interior of the vehicle's rear window in a manner clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle, but doesn't obstruct the driver's view out of the rear window. Another option is to use the bike rack you want to use and move the plate to...

    For a metal license plate bracket with light, we have the Peterson License Plate Light with Bracket # PM436B. We have other options with lights but they are a polymer. You can always get the parts separately like bracket # LP20SB, # CE26053A or # LP15SB and then add the light # LPL31CB. I've attached a link to your light options.

  • License Plate Holder and Light for Use on Ramped Utility Trailer
    You 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...

    On the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # 63153, you can use the Optional Light Kit, part # 20174. This light kit will install on the Pro Series cargo carrier and plug into a 4-flat connector on your vehicle. This will give you operating taillights on the back of your cargo carrier. To mount your license plate on your vehicle and illuminate it I would recommend using either the Optronics License-Plate Light w/ Mounting Bracket, part # LP55CB, or the Peterson License Plate Light with...

    Hi Dave, I have an option for for you, however, I wasn't able to cross reference the number you gave me so you'll just need to take a couple quick measurements to confirm the following option will work as a direct replacement. If the distance on mounting hole centers is 1-3/4 inches and the mounting hole used for the old lights is around 1-1/8 inches, then you can use the LED Trailer License Plate Light # LPL12CB along with the Ear Mount Bracket # A11GLPB.

  • How To Wire License Plate Bracket from Peterson Part PM436B
    Make sure you attach the bracket to the trailer frame directly. This particular light is grounded to the trailer frame via the hardware. Make sure there is good metal to metal contact. Once you have the bracket mounted, all you have to do is splice the wire lead to the running light circuit of the trailer. This is typically a brown wire. To be sure, hook up the trailer to the truck, and turn on the headlights. Use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to find the wire that is hot with...

  • How to Wire a License Plate Bracket with a Light on a Dune Buggy
    License plate lights are typically wired to the running light circuit. You should have no problem wiring your plate light in with your existing tail lights. I recommend using solder, # FL0803484, and a soldering iron for these connections, but a quick splice, # SWC502905-1, will work if you do not have access to a soldering iron. A circuit tester, # 3808, will be needed to locate the running light circuit on the dune buggy. Typically it is easiest to find this circuit at the rear of the...

  • Replacement License Plate Light For 2009 Haulmark 7x12 Low Hauler Trailer

I have attached a link to our product page for license plate lights. Some have the license plate holder attached to the assembly and some are just the lights that are mounted to light the license plate. There are different opinions about mixing LED and incandescent lights on the same circuit. We have had customers that wire them in the...

  • Recommended License Plate Mount For Fender of Car Hauler Trailer
    Yes. I recommend using the License Plate Mounting Plate - Black # CR79150 or the CE Smith Trailer License Plate Bracket - Tail Light Mount - Aluminum Tread Plate # CE26053A to add a little more style. If you need a light with your mounting bracket, I recommend the LED Trailer License-Plate Light w/ Mounting Bracket, 2 Wire, 5 Diode - Clear # LPL55CB or the Peterson License Plate Light with Bracket # PM436B.

  • 2010 Mini Cooper S Clubman Relocated License Plate Bracket and Light Recommendation
    The part # PM436B that you referenced is a license plate bracket with a light on it that should work well for you. 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...

  • Is there a Bike Rack Available that Will Not Block the License Plate
    That really depends on where the license plate is located. Since you were looking at the Surco bike rack, # SP501BR, I assume you have a van or RV that has a ladder with the license plate in close proximity. What I recommend is to use the bike rack you want to use (trailers and RVs can only be equipped with certain racks, see link) and relocate the license plate to an area of the vehicle, trailer, or RV that is more visible. For a license plate bracket, if you need one that has a light...

  • Do I need Left and Right Side Trailer Tail Lights or Can I use 2 Right Side Trailer Lights
    Yes, if your trailer has a license plate directly below the left side tail light, you will need to order the Submersible LED Trailer Tail Light, # STL57RB, for the left side. This light has lighting to illuminate the license plate. For the right side you will need the light you referenced, # STL56RB. If your trailer has a separate license plate light assembly, like part # PM436B, you can use a right side light, # STL56RB, on both sides of the trailer.

  • Is License Plate Relocation Kit Needed if Cargo Carrier on 2002 Ford Explorer Blocks License Plate
    It would be a good idea to get a license plate mounting bracket and attach it to the cargo carrier, especially if it is required by law in your area. A duplicate plate should not be required since removing the plate from the back of your 2002 Ford Explorer should just involve a couple of screws. For a bracket we have several options but I would go with # PM436B. This is a bracket and light. The light will need to wire into the running light circuit from a trailer connector. If your Explorer...

  • Does the Peterson License Plate Light Come with Hardware
    The Peterson License Plate Light part # PM436B does not come with hardware. It will require a few screws to attach to bracket to the trailer and then a few nuts and bolts to attach the plate to the bracket. This is very common hardware that could be obtained locally without issue.
