Default Tag lights

Is it just my truck or do others cast the light from the tag lamps on to the tailgate? It looks strange to me. They seem to illuminate the tailgate better than the tag. Comments anyone?

I covered the top 50% or so with electrical tape after someone here mentioned it. Now mine only light up the tag and don't shine into the camera

I did not know this. I guess I'll have to take a look tonight with my lights on.

I also swapped my plate lights to LED because my truck came from the factory with all LED exterior lights except for the plate lights.
