Sounds like crap to me.  Ban reflective plates - they should all be black.
I think I'll spray paint mine.  Yeah, that'll fix the problem.

It's a diffused reflection which gives the appearance of the license plate
glowing, rather
than a specular reflection which reflects the point source of light. The
glare off of
chrome is reflecting a point source of light, usually the sun. A reflective
license plate
is "glowing" in the illumination of headlamps, which are usually a skosh
less bright than
the sun :^)
