I haven't encountered one on my dash cam at night so I don't have footage... yet.
When I say "morning" I mean 5am. It was still very dark. I found it easy to read. Could be the type of lights used I suppose. The old plates are not all that easy to read after a year or so really so other than the camera debacle (I agree they should show up on a camera) I just don't see the big fuss.
