Licence plate light laws and regulations

Licence plate light is compulsory on all vehicles with a number plate. If this lighting is not working, it may result in a fine. The reason for this is simple: the number plate must always be clearly legible. Without licence plate light, situations may arise where this is not the case, for example in heavy rain, snowfall or in the dark. If your LED licence plate light is faulty, it must therefore be replaced to ensure you continue to comply with legal requirements. This applies to a wide range of vehicles, from trucks to trailers.

If you’d like to find out more about what other lighting is also mandatory, please read our blog on the regulations governing lighting on trailers.

Colour of light emitted

To meet the RDW’s requirements, we have adjusted the light colour accordingly. The light colour of our LED licence plate lights is not amber, but white and sufficiently neutral to comply with the regulations. In addition to the colour, the angle of incidence is also important. If this is not correct, the number plate will still be insufficiently visible.

Waterproof and shock-resistant LED licence plate light

It is important that LED licence plate lights can take a beating. For example, it must be resistant to shock and vibration, but also be completely waterproof to protect the electronics. All TRALERT® licence plate lights meet these requirements so that you can drive safely and responsibly. You can see this in the IP values, among other things.
These indicate the degree to which a light is protected against dust and water.

Which licence plate light is suitable for my vehicle?

LED licence plate light interferes, what should I do?

As LED lighting consumes much less energy than halogen lighting, in some cases the vehicle does not recognise the light properly. This can cause interference or error messages. In many cases, this can be solved by applying a suitable resistance.
