Today we're taking a look at a Peterson license plate light. Now this unit mounts to your trailer and illuminates the license plate. It contains one incandescent bulb, bulb number is 168, and that is replaceable if and when needed. The base, which is this black portion here, this is made from a durable steel construction and it has a nice powder-coated finish on it to help resist rust and corrosion, housing, which is the gray portion, that's plastic. It's a single wire design so that your power wire and then it grounds through the mounting hardware. Mounting hardware not included.
It is department of transportation compliant. We're going to go over a few measurements real quick and then we'll hook up the power that way you can see what it looks like with some power running to it. The mount holes on the unit are separated apart from one another on center by three and a half inches. Edge to edge, the base measures 4 inches by about 1 and 5/8 inches.And then from the very back of the unit to the very front of the unit gives us an overall depth of about 2 and 1/4 inches. All right, we're going to go and hook it up the power.
We'll also turn off our overhead light so you can see it in a low-light setting. So here you can see the light sends out a nice consistent signal. Again, we have light that shines at a downward angle, which will illuminate a license plate mounted directly below this light. And it contains a total of one bulb, and again that is an incandescent bulb that is replaceable. One more time, bulb number is 168.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Peterson license plate light.

4" x 1-3/4" x 2-1/4". Incandescent trailer light illuminates your trailer's license plate. Vibar socket absorbs road shock and vibration. Durable ABS housing. Surface mounts to trailer. 1-Wire design. (1) 168 bulb.Wish it had a pig tail or at least a few inches of wire out the back with a chaffing sheath.
The light I received was missing the white ground wire that appeared in the product photos. I jury-rigged by grounding to the metal connector plate inside. Works. Mounting holes didn't line up to my original but wasn't surprised. Just had to drill a couple holes.
Had looked hard to find this replacement. This worked well.
The license plate light arrived in great condition, packing was very secure. It was just as advertised. It was exactly like my old light which was original equipment on my motor home. Fit was perfect. Thanks !
Direct replacement for the factory installed license plate light on my 20+ year old trailer - I was really worried about finding the correct replacement parts but etrailer.com had everything I needed. The ordering process was a breeze and my order arrived quickly
This is exactly the same product as my old one that was on my Horton horse trailer, I just have to get someone to hook it up as I am not a electrician. I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks for the product
The license plate light arrived several days earlier than I expected. Exactly what I needed fit perfectly. I would order any additional supplies from etrailer.com
