RV License Plate Lights & Bracket Guide

Replacing the light over an RV license plate starts with the existing bracket, mounting-hole spacing and electrical connection. Some products are complete LED light-and-bracket kits; others are compact surface lamps, incandescent housings or a separate plate holder. On certain RV tail lights, license illumination is built into the driver-side assembly.

Three ways an RV license plate is illuminated

Dedicated mini license lamp Confirm screw centres, wires and the required number of lamps.

Bracket or complete kit A mounting bracket alone does not supply illumination.

Driver-side integrated tail lamp Only for the corresponding RV combination-light installation.

Simplified component diagrams for identification only; these are not dimensioned mounting templates.

RV license plate light and bracket comparison chart

Use the part number alongside the mounting arrangement. The measurements and wiring in each row describe that specific item, not a universal bracket fit.

Part	Brand	Product type	Mount	Power / wiring
LPL12CKF2B	Optronics	LED light and bracket kit	Vertical bracket with 3/4-inch grommet	Black power, white ground; 0.180-in female barrels
LPL31CBP	Optronics	Mini chrome LED surface lamp	Two-inch screw-hole centres	Two black non-polarized leads; 12–24V DC
60011	Grote Industries	Chrome-finish incandescent license lamp	1-3/4-inch screw-hole centres	12V incandescent; replaceable #67 bulb
LP15SBP	Optronics	License plate mounting bracket only	Surface mounted; accepts compatible stud-mounted lamps	None — separate lighting required
RVSTL61S	Optronics	Driver-side tail light with plate illuminator	Surface-mounted RV tail-lamp body and license bracket	Green stop/turn, black tail, white ground

Check lamp placement. Optronics marks LPL31CBP with a (2)L lighting classification and specifies a paired mounting arrangement for the listed configuration. Do not assume that a single mini light automatically provides the required license plate illumination. Follow the applicable vehicle lighting requirements.

Five checks before buying a replacement license light

Identify whether the original is a standalone lamp, a bracket-mounted lamp or an integrated driver-side tail light.
Measure the original screw centres and available depth, as well as the license plate's position relative to the light.
Compare electrical connections: LPL12CKF2B uses female barrel terminals; LPL31CBP has two black non-polarized leads. Check the correct wiring for the exact model.
Determine what is included. LP15SBP is bracket only; LPL12CKF2B has a lamp and mounting parts; RVSTL61S is a complete combination tail lamp.
Confirm lighting placement, secure routing of wiring, sealing and applicable vehicle requirements before installation.

The LPL31CBP mini lamp is designed for 12–24V DC use. The LPL12CKF2B and Grote 60011 are different designs with their own connections. Do not assume their brackets or wiring are interchangeable.
