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,

Another useless post by ard.

Who cares if there is another reason or if it is just for vanity. No one asked for an opinion or needs your criticism or judgement, just let these folks do whatever they want and let's stay on topic.

OP, let us know know if the swap works. I won't be doing this if it does work as I would prefer to go icognito, but I'm curious to see if it will work.

Go for it.
