Lights on your license plate?

Is it legal to have no lights on my license plate? I just unplugged the lights and think the car looks much better without them.

Can you get a ticket for it?
Do cops really care?

Drive to a police station and ask for a first hand opinion.

Rear lamps to illuminate number plate

(19) The lamp on the rear of a motor vehicle or trailer shall be of at least three candela and shall be so placed that it will, at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, illuminate the numbers on the number plate, or, if provision is made on the number plate or on any attachment furnished or required by the Ministry for affixing the lamp, it shall be affixed in the position or space provided, and the lamp shall face to the rear and reflect on the number plate a white light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (19).

Ya, the rear plate must be lit. I got a $110 ticket for mine not being lit, better to do it, then get caught.
