What is a "license plate lamp"?
A license plate lamp is a small light mounted near a vehicle's license plate to illuminate it at night, making the plate visible to others, especially law enforcement. The lamp ensures that the license plate is clearly readable in low-light conditions, helping vehicles follow road regulations. It is usually a small, weather-resistant light located directly above or below the plate.
Examples
