Peterson 439 License Plate Light Dimensions

Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light

The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.


Surface-Mount Light


Surface-mount trailer lights install using a flange or bracket with mounting holes. These lights lay flat against the trailer surface and only require a small, often pre-existing hole, for wiring. Mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Great and fast service, as always.

First time working with etrailer.com and must say that web site made my purchase an easy one. Would not hesitate with future purchases.

The license plate light was for an enclosed snowmobile trailer and I was in need of a replacement that was a simple R&R. The unit was a perfect match along with the hole pattern for mounting. I also had some self taping stainless steel screws that I used to mount the unit due to chemicals used on the road (during winter months) cause corrosion in the NE and wrecks havoc where there is an exposure.

THIS IS MY SOURCE FOR ALL MY AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTS!
I LIKE IT!
REFURBISHED MY CUSTUM TRAILOR WITH 10 LED RUNNING LIGHTS, 2 TWELVE INCH LED STOP/TURN/TAIL LIGHTS & OF COURSE THE LED TAG LIGHT.
ITS GORGEOUS!
THANX, E TRAILER .COM



by:

This trailer license plate light was exactly what I needed.
The order process was quick and easy and the light arrived within 5 days.
I am very pleased.



by:

I think it is a great product fits well !



by:

This product is rather simple, but it is exactly what I needed. The factory light that was on my trailer was small, and burnt out. I simply drilled out the old light mounting, removed it, and drilled one new mounting hole for the new light(using one of the old holes). Light works great and the license plate if very visible at night. Quick delivery from eTrailer was very appreciate!



by:

Good quality product. Exactly as described. The only complaint that I have is that there are zero instructions. What instructions would one need for a light? Which wire is used for ground, black or white? This may not be important for an incandescent bulb but reverse voltage will typically blow an LED. If you do house wiring, you expect the white wire to be ground. If your background, like mine, is radio and DC circuits then the DC ground wire is typically black or green. On these lights, the ground is white.

HAVE A NEW TRAILER AND WAS NOT LOOKING TO START ALTERING WIRING. TRIED SEVERAL OF THE LOCAL PARTS HOUSES , BUT COULD NOT FIND MATCH. GOGGLED PART NUMBER AND FOUND EXACT PART, WHICH ARRIVED WITHIN WEEK. NO DRILLING OR SPLICING!

HAPPY THAT ORDER QUANTITY HAD NO MINIMUM, DID NOT NEED A BOX OF FIFTY LIGHTS LAYING AROUND GARAGE, BUT WANTED AT LEAST ONE EXTRA PRICE WAS GOOD THANKS



by:

This company is on of the best places to order your parts from. This is the second time I was able to place my order and get what I wanted without all the fuss of waiting. I was looking for a waterproof light for the boat trailer, checked other sites, the internet, boat places, etc. couldn’t find what I liked. Then I remember etrailer I order new hubs from. They had what I was looking for. Should have called them first. Make sure and talk to Pat.



by:

Item purchased to replace another trailer license plate light. Perfect match. Very fast shipping.



by:

Ordered product on Sunday and received on Wed and finally got around to installing light on my boat trailer.Light was up to my expectation.Only time will tell if it is waterproof and stays up and running.



by:

Nice light, really wanted to get an LED light but this one is good quality. Make sure you check the bulb type. I was looking in the LED section and there are a few incandescent lights in this section.



by:

Not extremely bright, but worked OK on my trailer tag. Police are commonly pulling people over now days for not having a tag light.



by:

I got my license plate light in a timely fashion. The delivery was exactly what I ordered. The light installed with ease. I have not trailered my boat yet but the light works and I expect it to be a great purchase.



by:

Perfect OEM replacement light and even came with an extra pigtail connector....I am very pleased with this light so far.



by:

  • What Are Center To Center Dimensions Of Mounting Holes On Peterson Trailer License Plate Light
    The mounting holes on the Peterson Sealed, Trailer License Plate Light, part # M439K are 2-3/4-inches center-to-center. I have attached a photo of the light with the mounting dimensions noted. This light has a polycarbonate lens and is sonic welded for a watertight seal and also includes the wiring plug.

  • Looking for a Trailer License Plate Light that is Submersible
    All of the license plate lights we have that are listed as submersible are incandescent, not LED. We have Peterson light # M439K and Optronics light # LP97CB. Though the lights are submersible you will need to make sure the wiring connections are water-tight by using something like liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122.

  • What to Do if the Peterson License Plate Light M439K Burns Out its Bulb
    So that it's watertight the Peterson Sealed, Trailer License Plate Light # M439K that you referenced is sonically welded. There is no way to replace the bulb. You would just have to replace the entire light.

  • Replacement Trailer Lights for 1999 ProCraft Boat Trailer
    We carry a broad range of trailer light replacement lenses as well as replacement lights and complete trailer lighting kits. The linked pages will display both license plate lights like # M439K and individual replacement parts like lens kit # W003372-73. You can sort the results shown by using the click-on filters on the pages. Usually the part number for a trailer light appears on the light base, rather than on the lens which usually displays only SAE/DOT info. I did find many photos...

  • Availability of LED-Version of Petersen License Plate Light # M439K
    Peterson does not offer an LED-type version of their incandescent License Plate Light # M439K but Optronics does offer their # LPL41CB, which is a Heavy Duty Trailer License Plate LED Light. This unit is also an ear-mount type, features a chrome-plated housing, 5 LEDs and a 2-wire hookup. I have linked a review video for your reference. The mounting hole spacing on the # M439K is 2-3/4-inches center-to-center. The mounting hole centers for the Optronics light are spaced at 3-1/4-inches....

  • What is the Difference Between M439 and M439K Trailer License Plate Lights
    The Peterson Sealed, Trailer License Plate Light, Ear Mount, # M439K, comes with a mounting bracket. I could not bring up the M439. But according to the manufacturer M439 does not come with a mounting bracket. For a license plate light, you might also be interested in Heavy-Duty, LED Trailer License-Plate Light with Mounting Bracket, # LPL55CB. This light comes with a mounting bracket.

  • Availability of LED License Plate Lights
    We do have some LED license plate lights. You could use # LPL31CB or # LPL41CB. I have included some links to video reviews for each of these lights for you.

  • Power Connection of a Trailer License Plate Light on a 1997 Dodge 1500 Van
    The Peterson Sealed, Trailer License Plate Light, Ear Mount, part # M439K does not have a receptacle to plug into a cigarette lighter. You will need to splice the black wire from the back of the light into the Dodge Van running light circuit behind one of the the vehicle taillights, so that it will illuminate whenever the running lights are on. The white wire will need to be connected to good ground point.

  • Recommendation for License Plate Lamp to Shine Upward
    My best suggestion would be to use a bracket like the Steel Trailer License Plate Mount Bracket, # LP20SB, with the Peterson Sealed Trailer License Plate Light, # M439K, and mount the bracket upside down. This would give you a lamp below the license plate that would shine upwards. Before making a purchase, I do recommend contacting the Department of Transportation just to make sure that mounting a light that shines upward would not violate any of their regulations. Please also keep...
