It is illegal in every state since it would be near impossible to read your plate number at night.

Well since I assume your in Pennsylvania:

PA Title 75 Chapter 43 § 4303. General lighting requirements.

(b) Rear lighting.--Every vehicle operated on a highway shall be equipped with a rear lighting system including, but not limited to, rear lamps, rear reflectors, stop lamps and license plate light, in conformance with regulations of the department. If a vehicle is equipped with a centrally mounted rear stop light, a decal or overlay may be affixed to the centrally mounted rear stop light if the decal or overlay meets all applicable State and Federal regulations.

PA vehicle code

The same thing happend to my friend's 3000GT. He got caught on I-294 and they complained about the same thing and gave him a notice to get it fixed. Cops are REAL anal about lighting around here, lol

well its a secondary law in minnesota. My friends dad is a sheriff and he told me they cant stop you for just that reason. You have to be speeding or something to get a ticket for it. He doesnt even have one on his malibu.

nope take a dremel and just notch out just enough for the bulb to shine through. i think mines only like an 1 1/2" square i cut out and it lights up the plate fine

not bad at all. i purchased a "license plate light" at auto zone. just cut a square notch, put it in, and screw it on, and wire it up. done and done. good luck.
