The brightplates web site says:
"the most popular question being " look great but are they legal?". Of course they are !
The European Commission are reviewing legislation and regulations concerning vehicle number plates. There is considerable weight behind the notion that front plates should be required to have illumination as this improves identification and also adds to safety by delivering better visibility."

Easier than . . . A pair of sidelights while you're driving in a streetlit area, or a pair of xenons when you're not?

Enforced bleedin' expensiveness when a damaged one needs replacing?

From 2011, buy a new car you won't have a choice . . . What I don't understand is that the likes of Audi decide you 'need' a row of bright LEDs to be seen in daylight, so they paint the car grey or black.
