8-5/8" x 3-1/4". LED trailer light with ABS mounting bracket illuminates your license plate. Durable polycarbonate lens and housing. Surface mount to trailer with bracket. 2-Wire design.by: William07/09/2022
Based on other reviews of these lights, I had no doubt that they would be brighter than the Bargman Series 92 incandescent lights that came standard on my trailer. The issue was whether or not the 12-13 degree return slope on the back of my trailer (see picture) would adversely affect their visibility because some LED lights are "directional. The bottom line is that I think they work very well despite the slight downward aim. The attached video shows my test of one of the new lights taped into position (right) compared to one of the old lights (left). The video does not due justice to the brightness of the new fixture, but you can clearly see how much sharper the "flash" of the light is compared to the old one. Two notes regarding installation; (1) there is very little space in the back of the fixture for wires so you need to be able to center the fixture on the whole in the trailer to push extra wire into, and (2) yo can configure these lights to be 1/2 stop/tail and 1/2 turn/tail if your trailer is wired appropriately.

This is one of the few license plate lights that would work for me. As you can see in the picture I have it mounted on top of the license plate, above the lamp. The attached bracket made for an easy installation. The wires were kind of short (about 8") because of the way I mounted it so I had to extend to wires.
I did not want to mount my plate on the bottom of the tail lamp assembly to utilize the built-in license plate light because it was to low to the ground and was always dragging loading and unloading the trailer. The product made an easy DIY modification to keep me on the good side of the men and women in blue.

Only 1 of the 5 LED’s work. Disappointing.
The picture isn’t that great due to the reflection, but only the center led is lit.
by: Terrie E05/30/2019
Product worked perfectly for what we were using it for. I purchased a motorcycle and needed to move the license plate bracket to be able to add bags. I found your bracket online, knowing we were going to have to jerry rig it to where we wanted to mount it. I was a little suprised the bracket was plastic when I received it, but still worked great. A friend made 2 mounting brackets from a flat bar, cutting and bending them to the length and angle we needed. Drilled holes and mounted them under the rear fender. Mounted the license plate bracket on the other ends of the custom brackets and wired it in for lights.

The Clear plastic lens keeps coming unsnaped from the rubber base. Had to use gorilla glue to keep it in place.

I would say that this is not normal with this bracket. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

Just wanted to tell you that I have finally installed the product I ordered
from etrailer.com, and I must say that it is by far the best product I have
ever used. They are bright, and very visible even during daytime. Attached is the finished product that I installed on my travel trailer. I
hope that other consumer like me will find this very helpful to buy from
etrailer.com.

Holder was easy to install an works great.

Exceptional and inexpensive LED-lit license plate mount/bracket.
I ordered this item (online) on a Sunday, and received a human confirmation e-mail that evening! Item was shipped the next day (Monday). Very Easy installation. Photos (3) attached. If you need an illuminated license plate bracket, BUY THIS ONE!

This license bracket was just what I needed to replace a broken one on my RV. This unit is well made, with a nice finish and a bright light. Better than original equipment!

Nice sturdy bracket and matches my new tail lights. Led and bright. Just what I wanted. I will attach a photo.
by: Paul T.08/05/2017
This kit works, but not in the configuration delivered. If you purchase this, be prepared to find an alternate method to mount the lights. You will likely need to modify the cargo carrier to make this work.
The lights are sealed units that are normally flush mounted on larger trailers. Mounts have been added with self-tapping screws that easily strip out of the housing and the mounts fall off the lights. The screws in the kit were smaller in diameter than the holes in the mounts, both front and back, making them useless. I tried attaching the lights using zip ties and just the mount on the light portion, but that failed when the mount screws stripped out of the lights. I did not have the issue with the wiring being too short like other reviewers. My wiring was actually a little too long.
To actually install this kit reliably, here what you need:
- Silicone
- Super Glue
- Screwdriver (Flat or Phillips Depending on Screw Choice)
- Wire Cutters (To Cut the Ends off of Anchors)
- 9/32" Drill Bit
- 4x #6x1.5" Machine Screw
- 4x #6x0.75" Anchors
How I installed mine:
1. Remove the plastic bracket supplied with the light. Fill the holes with silicone so that the lights are sealed again. Check in a couple minutes to ensure that the silicone didn't drip through. Add more as needed until the hole is filled.
2. Trim the ends off of your anchors so that they fit in the two plastic circles on the back of the lights. Just a little bit will do. Test fit them to make sure they go all the way in. Once you're sure they fit, super glue just the bevel at the top to the light. This is to prevent them from turning in the hole because the plastic on the light is really smooth.
3. Drill two 9/32" holes in the rear upright bars of the carrier. Make the holes 1/4" from the edge so you can still connect the wiring. Space the holes at 2 5/16". The holes need to go through the front and back of the uprights.
4. Put the screws through the back holes pointing outwards. Once the super glue has dried, screw the screws into the anchors.
5. Connect the wiring per the supplied instructions.

Warning, this item does not run off of batteries!
I hope you have not received this because etrailer is not responsible for shipping on returned items! This item will cost me more to return (shipping) then it's worth! I guess I'm just supposed to throw it away and be happy about. This is a bad return policy!!!

They had the part I needed on an older model travel trailer and they sent it right away.
by: Jack 06/13/2020
This worked very well to mount and light my license plate when I removed the OEM lights that had an integrated mounting for the plate. It was easy to mount and wire to the existing trailer license plate lighting circuit. I'm very pleased with the finished result.

Many a loaded trailer trips and all is still doing great! Its so nice when a product works like it should!
by: Paul L.05/02/2022
This item is made of rugged plastic and will not rust out in a few years like the one that I had to replace and because of the LEDs, I won't have to search for a little filament that burned out or a rusty lamp socket. As we know , trailer lighting always fails at the worst possible time!
by: Gene W02/07/2020
I love the LED tail lights that I purchased for our travel trailer. Exceptionally bright and they give me a lot more confidence driving down the road both in daylight hours and after dark. The trailer manufactures should be installing these tail lights from the get go. They were easy to hookup and install and the full size foam rubber gasket makes a great seal. The picture you see with my review isn't of the tail lights.
by: Harvey L.05/11/2011
I ordered the LED License plate light/bracket to replace an old broken one on my 1984 13' Scamp camp trailer. The renovation of my trailer is not yet complete but the new light/bracket along with the new LED tail/signal/brake lights also from etrailer, will make the old camper look like new from the rear. The composite, non-metal construction should insure long life that is free from rust, & the LED lights will 'draw' less energy while lasting much longer than incandescent.
by: Scott03/16/2019
I’m very happy with these LED tail lights. Bought them to replace the ones that came on the trailer. They are bright and seem to be of high quality. They were easy to install. The only slight drawback is that it’s a bit tricky to get the wires to lay flat enough against the light to get it to sit flush with the back of the trailer. But in the end it worked fine. I would recommend these as a good replacement for older, smaller, incandescent tail lights.

- Submersible License Plate Light and Bracket for Boat TrailerWe do have license plate lights that are submersible and can be used on your boat trailer, though the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB is not submersible. Instead, you will need the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light with Bracket - Submersible # LPL56CB. I have added a link to a video review of this light for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended License Plate Light for Rola Cargo Carrier # 59502To illuminate your license plate I recommend the Optronics LED Trailer License-Plate Light with License Plate Relocating Mounting Bracket # LPL55CB for your Cargo Carrier. If you already happen to have a license plate bracket and just need the light then I would recommend the LED # LPL41CB. LEDs will last longer and draw less amperage than traditional incandescent lights. I have linked the mentioned products and an installation video for your convenience.
view full answer... - What Hardware to Use to Secure License Plate Bracket with Light LPL55CBI would just run up to a hardware store and grab a couple bolts with a matching nut and lock washer and secure the plate with that. We don't offer a way to order the hardware at this time. You will want to use bolts with a diameter of 5/16 of an inch or smaller as that is the diameter of the mounting slot.

- License Plate Light and Bracket That can be RemovedEach of the license plate lights we carry are going to require splicing with a power wire. The Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB, for example, can be removed if you like by unscrewing it but the light is going to require a ground and the power lead be spliced into your running light wire. The license plate lights we have are all designed for the rear of trailers which is why there is not a plug-in option available. I have added a link to each of our license...
view full answer... - How To Wire Up the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate LightIn regards to the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light part # LPL55CB, the black wire is for power and the white wire is a ground. The black wire will be hooked up to the running light circuit which is usually a brown wire. If you have a ground circuit nearby you could tap into this or just use a screw and ground it straight to metal.

- Installing 2-Wire Lighted License Plate Bracket on TrailerWhen wiring a 2-wire license plate bracket, such as the Optronics LED # LPL55CB, you are correct that the white wire will be for ground and the black wire is used for the running lights. The white wire from the bracket should be attached to a clean, bare metal surface on the trailer frame for a secure ground. As you mentioned, the brown wire on your trailer is most likely the correct wire to tap into for the black wire on the bracket, but you will want to verify this by testing the wires...
view full answer... - Can Optronics LED Trailer License-Plate Light # LPL55CB Be Mounted Upside DownThe Optronics LED Trailer License-Plate Light, part # LPL55CB, could be mounted upside down but the case that covers the light is designed to protect the light from the elements with it mounted above the license plate. The case is solid on top to allow water to run off of the light fixture and the clear lens has a drain hole in it to allow any moisture on the inside of the lens to drain out. If you install the light upside down it would allow the chance of more water to go inside the case...

You could zip tie the plate to your carrier, or use a bracket with a light like part # LPL55CB (In most states, the rear license plate is required to be lit after dark).
