Today we're going to take a look at the Thule replacement license plate bracket with the light, for a Thule Terrapin hitch-mounted cargo carrier.

It does include the number 168 light bulb in there, if you notice it does have too wires coming out the back, basically white it for ground, black is for power to it.

So glad etrailer had this replacement license plate bracket with light for my Thule Cargo Carrier. I got sideswiped in a parking lot and while the carrier survived the scrape, the light fixture did not. A quick swap and I am back in business. Thanks etrailer!

That wasn't very nice of that driver! I'm glad this bracket was the only thing they took out. Hopefully that wont happen again to you, Sandi.



by:

Perfect fit. I only wish it had two licence plate nut and bolts.



by:

Thanks, now we don’t have to take our bike rack off to satisfy the sheriff.



by:

Part fits well but the hardware it comes with is not useable. Screws are far too short to use and the plate holder needs to be mounted with spacers to allow enough clearance for screwing a plate onto it. Without the spacer it is nearly impossible to do.



by:

I recently ordered this product and replacement keys for my Thule racks. I haven't yet, but will be ordering replacement keys for my Yakima racks in the near future. I must say that ordering from this site was extremely easy. It was easy to find what I was looking for and the items were shipped right away. I couldn't have asked for better service. I would definitely recommend them!



by:

Great product, easy to install. Great costumer service!



by:

Just a basic, plastic licence plate light. Works as advertised with a red and black wire to hook up.

What are the dimensions width apart of the top holes next to the led?

The two round holes, just beneath the light, are right at 3 inches apart, center to center. Please note, this is not an LED light, rather it uses a traditional incandescent bulb. It is a 168 bulb, and you can find one at a hardware store.


by:

Simple, cheap but very useful little thing and that to help you not to get ticketed while having a hitch carrier that would otherwise hide your license plate. Simply AWESOME
Thank you Etrailer !!!!



by:

Easy install. Was actually used for a custom back License plate holder on a F-150. Worked out great



by:

The folks at etrailer really came through on this one.



by:

Best service on the web, period.

  • Availability of Lighted License Plate Holder for Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack
    Hey Dean! There are no lighted license plate brackets available for the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR. The only bike rack that comes with one is the Thule Epos # TH49XE we talked about back in November. Also, are you referring to the Hollywood Racks Safety LED Light Bar for Bike Racks # HLY54RR again? This is designed for the Sport Rider SE, RV Rider, or Trail Rider. With that curve and lack of space to mount it I don't think it will work with the Destination. Assuming...

  • License Plate Bracket That Could be Used with Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack
    Hey Aaron, we don't have a license plate holder for the Hollywood Racks Destination bike rack so if you really needed a solution for that you'd want to go with something like the part # 753-2026 which you'd have to come up with a way to attach it to the bike rack.

  • Running Lamp Circuit on Thule TH665C Transporter Combi Cargo Carrier Not Working
    The taillights on the Thule # TH665C Transporter Cargo Carrier should function as brake lamps. turn signals and running lamps. It sounds like you have a problem with the running lamp circuit, as the license plate lamp is on the same circuit. I'd first test the trailer connector on the vehicle while the headlights are on. A simple circuit tester like # PTW2993 works well for this. Check the pin on the connector that's fed by the brown wire. If you're not getting power on that wire with...

  • Is There a Better License Plate Bracket That Will Work With Low Profile LED RV Tail Light RVSTL11?
    While there isn't a more durable license plate bracket specifically designed to fit the Low Profile LED Combination RV Tail Light w/ Bracket # RVSTL11, this won't prevent you from putting a bracket like the # 428-09 behind the light. While the holes in the bracket are not going to match your light you can drill new holes through the bracket to hold it in place with the light. Another option would be to just mount the license plate separately with the License Plate Bracket with Light #...

  • License Plate Mount for a Trailer Hitch Receiver Mounted Bike Rack
    You will need to check with your local DMV to verify any laws, city or county ordinances that specify the visibility of your license plate behind the bike rack. We don't have any that are directly intended for this application, but some of the more popular ones are the Thule Replacement Licence Plate Bracket, part # 753-2023 and the Optronics License Plate Mount, part # LP10SB. If you plan on mounting and using either one of these, becuase they are not designed for this use, you'll have...

  • 2013 Toyota Highlander Cargo Carrier and Cargo Bag Recommendation
    After checking our records I found that you have a Class III rated hitch that has a maximum tongue weight of 500 pounds, and has a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver opening. I recommend the MaxxTow cargo carrier, part # MT70209. This swing-away enclosed cargo carrier will allow you access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle. It offers a 250 pound weight capacity. You can use this is as a complete enclosed cargo box or or as an open cargo tray. This enclosed carrier that will be more weather...
