How To Wire a License Plate Bracket with Light Like the LPL56CB
Question:
I recently just purchased C53201 and HM47004. I am looking at this LPL56CB license plate holder with light. Any idea how to wire this up with the LED tail light I purchased or any ideas on how to wire it up in general?

In order to wire up a license plate holder with light like the # LPL56CB you'll just need to find the running light circuit on your trailer, so that this light turns on any time your trailer lights are on; if you've got clearance lights you can tap into those or you can tap into the tail lights. You'll want to use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to determine which wire carries power for that circuit, but that is how you would want to wire the # LPL56CB. It's a two wire installation, so one wire will go to the running light circuit for power and the other wire will be grounded to the trailer frame.
I've linked some articles on wiring that you might also find helpful.
