Today we're going to take a look at the Peterson Great Light surface-mount LED utility or trailer license plate light. Now this is a nice, compact LED trailer light that'll function as either a utility light or a license plate light.A single LED light like this will meet the DOT requirements when mounted properly above your license plate. And LEDs make great replacements for incandescent lights, because they'll last 50 times longer. They're more efficient, because they'll provide brighter light with less power output, and no bulbs to replace, or no brittle filaments.This one is a clear lens over a white LED. You can see it has a nice, black housing to it. It is a surface-mount design.
It mounts to the trailer with this built-in bracket. The hardware, you can see the two screws is included. Two holes right there. You just put your screws in there, and you're going to attach it just like that.Now this is a two-wire design. You can see it includes the power lead and a ground wire.
They're both black wires, so you can use either one for either function. And at the end of this video, I am going to hook it up to some 12-volt power just to show you how bright it is.This light is DOT, Department of Transportation, compliant. It is made in the USA. Voltage again is 12 volts.give you a few dimensions on this. The overall length from one end to the other is right at three inches.
The height of it, bottom to the top, is right at one and 1/16th inches tall. Total depth on it, the widest point, is going to be right at 5/8th inches. The mounting holes, the two mounting holes center-to-center on those is two inches.Again I'm going to hook this up to some 12-volt power, and again it doesn't matter which wire you hook to which. They'll work either way. We got it.
Go ahead and turn it on. And you can see with it on, there's your single LED. Very bright light.Go ahead and turn off the overhead lights. And you can see, if you attach that above a license plate light, it'll give you light to light up the whole plate.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 surface-mount LED utility or trailer license plate light.
I used it on my Jeep when I installed an aftermarket bumper. The light is perfect because it is small & contoured making it not only look better than all the other license plate lights out there, it doesn’t get snagged on things either. The light is bright and compact.
These lights have held up to any weather and have stayed consistently bright. No flickering or dying of the led diodes.
We’ve added it to our custom made swing out for our Lexus gx460. You can follow our work at integratedmetalworks on Instagram!
Product is fine. Choice of shipping company sucks. took 13 days to go from Missouri to Nevada. USPS should not be used for parts shipping! Finalastion of customers flatbed install was delayed because of the enept ability to select the proper freight carrier
Low profile
I was looking for a small, low profile license plate light and this one fits the bill.
Ample down lighting with no glare from the rear. Works as expected.

One year follow-up: still works great!
Worked on first connection. Appears well made and solid. Looks Great.
Great slim lines but still good coverage for small trailer plate.
Have not verified submersion waterproofness, but fine so far in rain.
Four Stars because both mounting screws stripped heads/broke off during installation into tight aluminum hole, and there is no option for routing wires straight back from under light, so drilling new exposed hole was necessary; not a big deal, just seemingly an easy option to build in and may be a limiting factor for some.
Easy to install, fits flush against the trailer and solid brightness. I used this on the opposite side of my license plate holder so that both sides have lighting for me to see at night when towing....it lights up the lane markers on both sides of the trailer for my auto hauler.
Super bright!!
Good amount of white light projected directionally, great for license plates, steps, etc.

I used this for a camper license plate light its bright as well as for two foot-lights, one installed below the entry door on each side, pointed downward to mark the step into the camper. They work well.
Great little minimalistic license plate lights. They have been dunked into salt water and fresh water every time we launch our boat. Never had an issue and still just as bright as when new.
This is exactly what I needed for the space and use. I knew I could find it on your site. Thank you.
Great for night light application at foot of camper door.
Perfect license plate LED, AND, the perfect storage box LED as well!
Perfect for my application to light up trailer winch area.
Great light, easy to mount, not polarity sensitive, and bright enough to illuminate the license plate.
This is a very nice product. I have purchased 3 of these. Excellent design and great looking product. You cant go wrong with this item if your needing a low profile light.
Great small led light. I used it for the stair well in my coach

Very good light! And inexpensive! It’s helpful that it directs the light downward
Great products and quick delivery. All the lights fit even better than expected
LIGHT WORKS GREAT EASY TO INSTALL
Worked out great on the RV
Works great
Looks good mounted but have yet to wire it and try the actual light. Seems to be good quality though.
Works as intended
