Can't really see your license plate. In some states, this would net you a ticket from the police.

I think you paid $1.50 too much.

We also must consider the quality of picture... many people (myself included sometimes) use their cell phone camera as if it were as good a quality as a real camera. While this practice may work decent for some applications, camera phones don't usually provide excellent night shots. Just my 2¢. The correct way would be to use a nice camera and a tripod to allow longer exposure.

I only mention it because in the states of Texas and Florida (the two I'm familiar with), they (police) can use a burned out bulb as an excuse to pull you over and search you and/or the vehicle for any other potential violation.

I'd rather prevent any reason for this "hassle" by replacing a burned out bulb. A couple of bucks is worth not being hassled IMO.

Kind of hard to tell anything from your picture. Your tag lights in Oklahoma better be all working and bright. Since we don't have a state inspection the police can and will use that to pull you over and write you up.
