Has anyone ever noticed how bright the plate lights are on the back of Camrys? Check that out!

[bowlofturtle]

lol yea i did notice it a couple of times while parking at night. so um.. yea

[terrynham]

[jhbhatia]

yeah, i've noticed it a few times...Gen 3's and solara's light it up well..gen 4's got their plates on the trunk lid..so they do light well..but not as good as gen 3's and solaras

[DrewsCam]

Gen2 lisense plate lights are bright too, they shoot to the sides though instead of below. Driving at night you can see the bright white trailing right behind the car if you turn your head to change lanes.

do you think there is a way to mae the light comming from those thing match the color of your plates to make them difficult to read?

[spydrvnm]

there are probably colored covers for them...i doubt it'll be hard to read though

[luisitol]

thats jsut asking for a cop to give you a ticket.

there are several other products you can get to make your plate hard to photograph by traffic cameras and sometimes even harder to read by the naked eye that aren't so obvious

[spydrvnm]

like spraypaint

[migoreng]

yeah i know they shine down and therefore shine to the ground...? because the bumper doesn't come out enough to block the light...
er yeah

Speaking of lights in the rear, why do Mini's have that little ass light? I think the new ones use it as a reverse light, but I saw an original driving along and it was on, shining on the ground, not the licence plate...

I think your deadon the reverse light...but i know some german cars have 'rear' fog lights, its just one light (not a pair) that by the side of the plates (like on audi's). its purpose is to make the car visible when visibility diminishes (like fog, rain, etc). So i'm guessing here for the old mini's - could it be that???
