No state in the union requires a front light on the license plate. I would check your states motor vehicle code, many require plates on the front of vehicles from '68 or '72 on...and Cobras would be exempt. Others may require it on kits if the registration shows a more current date (such as the date of manufacture). Check the ticket also, some are just fines not requiring repair...ie, pay and forget, while others are fix and submit the ticket with a fee. If it's just a fine, you can pay in and leave the vehicle as is...good luck.
