So I was thinking the other day about a way to do something with the license plate................

You know how people have those smoked covers for the license plates??

What if you used NightShades on a Clear one, and coated it enough to be a black black color, not smoked.

Well you wouldn't see your license plate..

But from there you some how lighted the inside of it enough to illuminate the license plate to see it at night with no problem, and have the lights stay on when the car is running to make it lit up during the day. But when the lights/truck is not on, the license plate cover is pitch black...

Any body think we could make it work?

I know you would probably have to extend the licenseplate cover out to make lights fit in there, and it would have to illuminate good. I have some led's on my motorcycle since I have a relocated plate on it that stick directly on the plate, and shines on it and is only like a 1/4" tall, so those may work and be low profile enough..

Discuss.

man that sounds like a ticket waiting to happen around my area. They are kind of picky on the plate thing around here. I had my tailgate down and he pulled me over just to see if my tags were current b/c he couldn't see them.

yeah, I kind of agree... I realize you intend to use the light while driving to illuminate the plate while in motion, but I wonder if you'll get hassled when parked... ie., cop passes by, decides to check it because as far as he can see, it is an unlicensed vehicle... probably asking for it to be towed to impound... I know I see in some places they are using recognition software to identify vehicles (parked and not) that may be stolen

I could be too cautious... it does sound like a great show idea anyway
