It's only wrong if you get caught...Hell, it's your car you can paint it hot pink with yellow neon lights all over it if you want (even though it would be severely homosexual). I say, if you can read the plate, than the cops can screw off!! Besides, they'll probably give you a fix it or pay the fine ticket, so you pop in some stock bulbs and drop in on the police station to show them it's "fixed" then put em' back....
