License plate lamps are easy to confuse when the original housing has broken away. First identify what is actually missing: the light, its mounting bracket, or a combination tail-light assembly. These Optronics and Grote examples illustrate different mounting styles, connectors and component types carried in this store.
Which part of the original plate-light assembly is missing?
Simplified component diagrams for identification only; these are not dimensioned mounting templates.
Inspect the old installation in five steps
- Photograph the old lamp from above and below the plate, including any mounting holes left in the bodywork.
- Look for a readable manufacturer's number. If none remains, record whether the housing is chrome-finish, black or part of the taillight.
- Measure the fastener spacing and inspect if the connection is two wires, barrel terminals or part of the RV's tail-lamp harness.
- Decide whether the holder is intact and only the light is missing, or if the bracket itself must be replaced.
- Match the exact manufacturer product and confirm the light placement rather than substituting a similar-looking item.
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.
Compare exact part numbers before selecting a replacement
The examples below may all be used near a license plate, but they cannot automatically replace one another. Look at the function and connection first.
| 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 |

Review the full product photograph for each item, then check its individual listing for condition and availability.

When the plate mounting bracket is the broken part
If the original plate support is bent, compare the LP15SBP bracket with the mounting surface. You will still need compatible lighting.
Driver-side tail lamp with built-in plate light
A plate bracket beneath the tail light may be part of the tail-light housing itself. RVSTL61S includes that feature and is not a universal replacement for standalone plate-light housings.
