This weekend I actually taped off 1/2 of each license plate lamp, so just the plate is lit. (lighting is set up for UK-sized plates, not narrower US plates) To me it looks better as my IB gets pretty dusty (great D/FW air quality??) and with that licence plate light raking over the car's back...it just showed off the dirt too much. I used electrical tape and just covered the outer half of each light...this seemed about perfect. Might do something more permanent someday, who knows...I'm just amazed at how vane I am about a little dust! Anyway this might be something of interest to owners of those darker colored MINIs.
