Is white the only color you can burn? Or can you have a white with a little blue hint to it?

For that, you would have to check with your local constabulary.

i don't think it would make much of a difference unless it effects your ability to read the licence plate.

Given that you already got pulled over already for not having working plate lights I'd just get some $2 bulbs from walmart and put them in until you find something else to your liking.

Never know when your gonna get pulled over by some a**hole cop in a bad mood.

I got one better. I was pulled over at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, bright sunny day for my off-road lights not being covered! They weren't on, none of my lights were, but having off-road lights mounted above the center line of the headlights must be covered at ALL times while on the road in Florida!!!

I did get off with a written warning though...

Should be able to run the :"LED-blue".

Go down to where there are the license plate lights.
BTW, don't drive through Chandler, Brownsboro, Murchison, or Athens.
They will screw you over, bad.
