Neat. More illumination on the plate, especially if it is mostly white as in Wisconsin, might really help visibility! The Wisconsin code, at least, doesn't have any upper limit on the brightness of the plate Illumination.

I will have to take some photos, but you can buy the mounting pods for this light.
