Has anyone had any problems with the highway patrol since the cargo obscures the license plate?

I use it on a Suburban and even when the carrier is completely packed my license plate is still visible.

I have holes in the carrier to move the license plate within view if the cargo obstructs on vehicle.

It does a very good job with distance when your traveling on highways, at times when my detector went off I saw nothing in the area but I slowed anyway and sure enough there was a patrol car just ahead. I'm guessing that the distance would vary with the amount of "gain" the police have there radar set at. I have had mine for over a year and it works great!!! You wont be disappointed

I've gotten pulled over numerous times for noise violations because of my exhaust although I don't recall the police ever mentioning anything about the lights. You may look to the actual county for their specific laws.

I'm not familiar with the tag placement since I live in CA & our tags are in the top but as long as the license plate is a standard size it shouldn't interfere with seeing them. It is just like any other license plate frame, so if you see other people in your area with them I would assume it is fine. The lettering is on the frame itself. Hope that helps!

We had the same problem. We had it mounted to the back license plate. We emailed the company and they sent a new one. The issue is the camera is not sealed for protection from the weather. We installed the newer one inside the vehicle (above our lift gate). It doesn't work as well; but it does work because it is away from the weather. Would not have purchased again. We would have bought a better brand model that was "sealed".

I've had it for about 1-1 1/2 years and I do tell them before they wash it...not to spray the license plate frame...the one time they did not listen to me I lost one crystal...thankfully I found it and was able to reapply it...other than that it is holding up great...still looks brand new and I get lots and lots of compliments on it...I Love It! Hope this was helpful to you!

I drive highway all the time with mine with no issues. I also go through the car wash once a week with no issues.

Yes. I have no problem reading license plates. Just make sure you have tour camera lined to the area you want to see.And watch the distance so you can read clear.

Jose, return it for a new one. That is exactly what happened to me. The second light works great! I have a chev silverado and I put the light under the license plate in front. Looks and works great!

I haven't had any problems in the last 2 years and my vehicle has been to Pepboys fpr oil changes, tire changes and to the dealer for work and I know it's been hoisted up with no problems. I keep the required minimum in them when not hauling my travel trailer.

Used this product and love it. We got a luggage bag to put our suit cases in and then place them onto the carrier. Our brake lights are up high and there is no visibility problem with them, but when luggage is on the carrier it blocks our license plate. We have used it several times and, as of yet, have not been stopped.

Yep, never have any issues. Had it for about 5 months and it is the best investment I ever made. You don't hear anything when on the highway

We have opened our panoramic sunroof as well, but not on highway, only once got to destination and local travel there, but also took our carrier off for the majority of the vacation so it wasn't really an issue...

I ordered the plate with install from Jeep so I cannot help u. Suggest that you ask a rep fromBlue ox. Can tell u that I have towed 10,000 miles without a hitch. No pun intended. Tim

Your license plate will be blocked by the carrier and the cargo. I installed a set of tail lights and a license plate holder on mine. The tail lights plug into the trailer tow receptacle. I move the license plate to the cargo carrier when I need to use it. I also mounted a inside the bed aluminum truck box on mine (fits perfectly)and use it for extra storage when I go camping in my Class B Pleasure Way RV.
