License plate lights are used to Illuminate the rear registration plate from the top or sides. These lights come in a variety of configurations, most of them are recessed into the rear bumper. They’re always white lights and should be so designed and placed as to render the registration plate clearly legible from a distance of 50 feet to the rear. They must not obscure the characters and numbers on the plate.

License plate lights are wired so as to be activated whenever the headlights, taillights or auxiliary lights are turned on. LEDs are universally incorporated in these inconspicuous lights for their advantages of high efficiency, superior vibration resistance, long lifespan and small source size. LED license plate lights include lamp-based assemblies and integrated assemblies.
