Keeping your license plate visible is a must, and this light does it simply and effectively. It uses a single LED that angles downward to evenly illuminate the plate surface. Compared to incandescent bulbs, this LED draws less power—only 0.054 amps at 12.8V—while putting out a brighter, cleaner light. That efficiency means less strain on your wiring and no dim spots behind the trailer.
You won’t be dealing with burned-out bulbs or fragile filaments anymore. The LED in this light lasts up to 50 times longer than traditional incandescent setups, so you can mount it once and not think about it again for years. With no bulbs to replace, it’s one less thing to maintain and one more reason to trust that your tag stays lit every time you hook up.
This light isn’t just about looks—it’s built for durability. The chrome-plated steel housing resists corrosion while keeping a clean finish, and the clear polycarbonate lens protects the diode from road debris and weather. It’s a solid piece of gear that stands up well over time on everyday trailers or work rigs alike.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the built-in flange design. The 1-13/16" long x 2-1/2" wide x 2" deep light mounts flat against the trailer surface using standard hardware (not included). A small hole handles the wiring for the included 2-wire pigtail—black for power, white for ground. The mounting holes are spaced 2" center-to-center, making alignment easy when replacing an older light.
You can tow with peace of mind knowing this light is DOT compliant for license plate illumination on trailers. It provides steady, even coverage that meets legal visibility requirements without any extra parts or add-ons needed.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light. This light angles down to illuminate your trailer's license plate. It is a LED system, LEDs make great replacements for incandescent lights, they last longer and burn brighter, they're much more efficient, you don't have to worry about replacing bulbs or worry about burnt out filaments. It's going to feature a durable chrome-plated steel housing. Nice strong, durable design, and it's going to feature a clear polycarbonate lens. It does mount directly on the surface of the trailer, with a built-in mounting flange. Mounting hardware is not included. You will notice that it has the two pre-drilled holes, and it's a two-wire design.
White wires are ground, black wires are power. It is Department of Transportation compliant. A few dimensions to go over with real quick, and then we'll hook it up to power so you can see what it looks like. Overall depth is going to be about 2" deep from front to back. The base gives us a measurement in this direction of about 2-1/2". Going this direction, that's going to give us a measurement of 1-13/16".
The mounting holes on the unit are separated on center by about 2". And the mounting hole diameter is going to be 1/4". It's going to contain one diode or one LED. The power draw of 12.8 Volts is 0.054 Amps. Optronics does put a lifetime warranty on the LED. Go and hook it up, so you can see what it looks like.
We'll also be able to turn off our overhead lights so you can see our low-light setting. So you can see there that that's going to cast light directly at a downward angle. It's going to do a great job at illuminating the license plate. You can see that that clear lens allows plenty of light to come through. Again it's contain one LED, and this is designed to cast light on your trailer's license plate. That's going to do it for today's look at the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light..
