Is there any possible reason, other that pure looks and vanity (ie "I have bright white plate lights, look at me") that you'd WANT to emphasize your registration/tag plates?!?!??

I mean isn't it better to simply have NOT plate lights? Or as dim as possible?

This seeming obsession with 'whiter and brighter' seems to over-ride any concept of form and function. Plate lights have absolutely nothing to do with any aspect of driving. It is a regulatory requirement and all brighter lights do is make it easier for law enforcement.

If I were to run across an overly bright and white plate light staring me in the face, I'd feel nothing but pity and annoyance.

Honestly yours,

A
