    From what I understand you can't have a white light pointing directly backwards unless they are reversing lights with reverse gear engaged. On normal reversing lights you can't see the light directly, just the reflected light off the plate.

    But, to be safe.. Ring the Police, imo. It's not worth taking the risk

    Ring someone who knows the rules, ie. your states department of transport.

    you'll get the bored cops that will pull you up because they can, then leave you sit there for 15 - 20 minutes while they try find an excuse to give you a fine over something silly. not worth the hassle imo

    Although neons are somewhat illegal, blue and red are a no no.

    I can't see any problem with a white light, especially since it's lighting up your numberplate.

    But yeah, ring transport if your worried.
