If you need to look up any WOF queries, see the thread in FAQ section on WOF and certification. From the link you can view the individual sections of the wof manual... http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/publications/vi ... l/#general

Under vehicle lighting brings up this...
http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/publications/vi ... g-v2-3.pdf

On page 4-12-1 it states in regards to registration plate illumination 'must emit a diffused light that is substantially white'

There's your answer in writing :wink:
