This sucks. Really, really sucks.
We have the same rule (no covered/"obstructed" lights/licence plate) on the books here in Ontario, and I'm always aware of it when I make mods. (Which is not to say I don't break the rule, just that I'm aware of it!)
I suspect most jurisdictions have the same rule and it's just a matter of whether or not it's going to be enforced.
My only run-in with the law due to mods was a ticket for not having my (required) front plate on. I had taken it off while messing around with grille blocking, and forgot about it.
