Features to know about

Better License Plate Visibility at Night: Ultra-Bright LED Output

Keeping your plate visible after dark is easy with this 1-1/2" round Great White LED light. It uses four ultra-bright white diodes paired with custom-cut lens optics to throw a clean, even light across your license plate. At only 0.02 amps on a 12V DC system, it’s incredibly efficient, yet still brighter than typical incandescent bulbs. There are no filaments to break and no bulbs to replace—just steady, reliable light every time you hit the road.

Built to Last: Chrome-Plated Steel Housing

This light isn’t just about brightness—it’s made to hold up over time. The chrome-plated steel housing shields the top half of the unit, protecting it from bumps and debris while giving it a polished look that fits well on any trailer setup. The durable construction keeps the LEDs safe and the lens clear so you get long-term performance without corrosion or fading.

Simple and Clean Installations: Snap-In Mounting Design

No need for complicated installs. The Peterson Great White LED light uses a snap-in design that fits into a 1-1/4" diameter hole, making setup quick and tidy. The 2-wire pigtail keeps wiring straightforward—one lead for power and one for ground. It’s easy to mount or remove when needed, and if you’re lighting both sides of a plate, just add a second light for symmetry and full coverage.

Energy Efficiency That Saves Power: Low Current Draw

This small light shines bright without draining your system. Drawing only 0.02 amps at 12V, it’s ideal for modern setups where keeping current low matters. That low draw means less strain on your wiring while still meeting DOT compliance standards for plate illumination.

Dependable Long-Term Use: LED Performance with Warranty Protection

With LEDs rated to last up to 50 times longer than standard bulbs, this Great White light stays bright year after year. It’s backed by a 10-year limited warranty too, giving you extra confidence that it’ll keep doing its job wherever you take your trailer.

Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Peterson Great White LED License Plate Light

Today, we're gonna take a look at the Peterson Great White chrome snap-in LED trailer license plate light. Now, this compact LED light illuminates your trailer's license plate, can also be used in utility courtesy light applications. The LEDs make great replacements for incandescent lights 'cause they'll last 50 times longer. They're more efficient, provide brighter light with less power output, and of course, no bulbs to replace or no brittle filaments.This one is a white lens over a white LED, has a chrome-plated steel housing that'll shield the top half of the light, and it is a simple snap-in installation. Requires a one and a quarter inch diameter hole for mounting. You can see it's a two wire pigtail design, includes the power lead and a ground wire, and the length on those wire leads are about eight inches.This light is DOT compliant when it's mounted in pairs, one on each side of the license plate.

Voltage on this is 12 volts. The LEDs do come with a limited lifetime warranty.Last thing I wanna do is give you some dimensions and then we're gonna plug it into 12 volts to show you how bright it is. So the diameter on this, it's gonna be right at one and a half inches. Total depth from the front to the very back of the metal, not including that rubber plug, about one inch.And again, we're gonna go ahead and light this up. I'll turn off the overhead lights to give you an idea.

We'll go ahead and take our . and we got them both lit up, or both hooked up. And there we go. And you can see there's the bottom half, the light, the LED shining through. Go ahead and turn off the overhead lights and you can see really how bright it is for just a small compact light like that.

Lights up a pretty large area.I'll go ahead and turn back on our overhead lights. Turn off our power. But that should do it for the review on the Peterson Great White chrome snap-in LED trailer license plate light.

See what our Experts say about this Peterson Trailer Lights

  • How Does Peterson Great White License Plate Light Get Removed
    Hey Gary, so the Peterson Grat White LED license plate light part # M298C was designed to be pried out. So if you have limited access you would want to find maybe like a hook shaped tool or a slot screwdriver that has a 90 degree angle at the end of it. Or if you can access the light from the back that might be one way to get it.

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For Adding New LED Lights To Vintage Trailer
    To wire the 4 clearance lights # MCL0040ABB, license plate light # M298C, and tail lights # STL190RB to your 12' long 75" wide vintage trailer, I recommend starting the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness with 42" Ground Wire # A40W42B which is 40' long meaning you will have enough extra wire to connect all of the lights you are planning on adding. The # A40W42B will install as follows: Brown wire to each of the yellow wire on each of the # MCL0040ABB, to the brown wire on the # M298C,...
