The Peterson M290C LED license light is a single-diode, top-mount lamp for 12 V license-plate lighting. It has stripped wire leads for a wired connection and a 0.95-inch spacer for the top-mount arrangement.
The compact lamp surface-mounts on 2-inch centers above the plate. Select this version when the installation calls for a top-mounted license light rather than a side-mount lamp, a plug-terminated model or a complete license-plate bracket assembly.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Single LED light source | Provides license-plate illumination from a compact lamp. |
| Top-mount spacer | Positions the lamp for its intended above-plate installation. |
| Stripped leads | Allow connection to the installation wiring without requiring a particular molded plug. |

| Mounting pattern | Check the 2-inch hole centers and available room above the plate. |
| Wiring | Plan a suitable connection for stripped leads; this model does not have an AMP, PL10 or bullet plug. |
