im knocking on wood as i type thiis. i have had those lights flash on me a few times,but its funny cuz they also get you if your through the intersection. anyway the solution to your problems is......... plate covers. usually dark ones or mirror tinted because the flash reflects off the cover making the id numbers very hard to make out. its not immpossible, but it makes there job a lil more difficult in identifying your plates. just a small tip.
