Mounting slots on CE Smith license plate bracket

Slotted mounting holes let you attach a license plate of almost any size.


No-Drill Installation

CE Smith license plate bracket installs using the tail light mounting studs.

This license plate bracket is easy to install, and it requires no additional hardware or drilling. Simply mount it between your trailer's existing tail light bracket and the driver's-side tail light. Just remove your tail light, slip the license plate bracket on over the light's mounting studs, and reattach the light to your trailer's tail light bracket. Pre-drilled holes match most stud-mounted brake lights for a hassle-free fit. Use the slot between the mounting holes to feed the tail light's wiring harness through.


Rustproof Aluminum Construction

Shining aluminum tread gives your trailer a rugged look while resisting rust and corrosion. Aluminum is lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for heavy-duty, outdoor, and saltwater applications.

Good quality part.
Easy Install.
Used
for a year so far. No problems.

The Trailer License Plate Bracket is exactly what I hoped for when I placed the order. Solid, well made; fits perfectly. No more license plate dangling precariously from the back of my trailer - lol. Great customer service, great products.

I received my license plate bracket timely and it is great quality. I will order again from etrailer.



by:

Much better than the plastic ones this one here won’t break off if he comes in contact with something and it looks good on the trailer I think I’m gonna get matching fenders

Good product a hold up very well to the different conditions of dumping the trailer loads of material material



by:

Perfect fit for bolt pattern on tail li ght



by:

Great bracket. An upgrade from the plastic one my dad had on the boat trailer he gave me.



by:

Exactly as advertised, good price and worked perfectly for what I was doing.



by:

Very pleased with the product. It was a lot heavier duty than I expected it to be. Was a quick install and I'm not worried about losing my tag at all now. Bought a brand new aluminum trailer and it came with a plastic tag bracket that I wasn't impressed with at all and was afraid it would break at any time.



by:

I look perfect in my utility trailer CE Smith Trailer License Plate Bracket - Tail Light Mount - Aluminum Tread Plate I'm happy thanks



by:

I love this tag holder cause it's not plastic like the original one was ??
Plus you don't have to worry about losing tag cause aluminum won't break like plastic will.

Product is working out great. If bracket gets bent you just pull it back in place with hand : So I still love it.



by:

Very solid and worth the price. I would purchase again if necessary.



by:

I looked over quite a few license plate brackets. Too many reports of the plastic ones breaking. My left/rear tail light includes a white light to illuminate the license plate so all I needed was a simple bracket. Aluminum so it won't rust, perfect!



by:

Delivery was fast and accurate , I would recommend to a friend.



by:

This will look nice on my car hauler if I figure out a good place to mount it. Location of trailer's mount area, down low to ground, may preclude using it. I got this in case

I ultimately had to fasten plate to trailer fender. The trailer design had mount location did not leave sufficient ground clearance, especially when loading/unloading for plate. This resulted in deformation of plate, both from ground contact and flying road debris and rocks. This item is best used when there is sufficient clearance for plate. It would look great and dress up any trailer it was attached to.



by:

A little disappointed after I found the exact same thing for 30%cheaper but it’s not your fault for me not doing my homework



by:

I bought this to replace the plastic bracket that came with my Ultra-Tow aluminum folding trailer. It fits perfectly and matches the light cover too, like it was designed for it.



by:

Fits what I need.



by:

I bought a used Featherlite trailer that had no provision for a proper lighted license plate. I'm using this and it looks like it belongs as standard equipment, aluminum trailer and aluminum license plate bracket. Very nice!



by:

Product is just like pictured on website. I've not yet installed it on trailer due to repainting it. But this product will be a sharp accessory to mount my tag with. Thanks for offering neat products that make upgrades from the ordinary possible. Great website!! Thanks etrailer.com



by:

This product is excellent for my needs. Fairly thin and light weight aluminum. It's not heavy duty diamond plate but who cares, my last one was plastic and broke off somewhere. At least this won't break and I can re bend it when I jack it up.



by:

I used this plate to mount the license plate ABOVE the trailer lights. I used a stick-on LED for the plate and connected it to the tail wire. I would've rated it higher if it came with stainless screws to mount the plate.



by:

Durable, corrosion-resistant mount - perfect for trailers subject to physical impact and aggressive off-road and marine environments.

Perfect!

Perfect replacement for the standard plastic one that came on my all aluminum trailer .

Glad I replaced it , it not only looks better on my all aluminum trailer , it keeps the tags from waving at traffic



by:

The license bracket is very durable and easy to install. The product is exactly as depicted on the website.
