Well again I know ALL of you think my idea is REALLY REALLY BAD but still I'm going to do it bc I've been told by cops that no light is better than an UV one.

Where can I find the wiring diagram?

that would prob be another thing they would pull you over for if you forget its off.. and along with that they will ticket you for:

Exhaust
Tint x2
HIDS
ETC
ETC
ETC

is it worth it?
You can get ticketed for HIDs?

Somebody post pics up of what uv plate lights look like at night.. I don't think i've ever seen a car with them

Wouldn't it be easier to just pull the bulb out when you want it dark? Or keep it out permanently?

I think you missed the point... point is to be able to flip the switch when I go by a cop to cut power to the light.

Next time I take pics I'll get pics of the UV light
