    The issue I see with that is you’d need to supply power to the lights, which wouldn’t be impossible, but isn’t exactly trivial.

    I wonder if having a license plate frame that changes it to not be a rectangle would work? Maybe even cover the frame in reflective tape to help blind the camera?
