After receiving the ticket, I suggested to the officer that he get the name of a man who was standing there locking up the business where I pulled in to stop for the officer. I said, very respectfully, we'll need his name so he can testify to the fact that the lights are working just fine. The officer shrugged it off, but took no action, other than the ticket he had already written.

In the end, the judge dismissed the ticket without any hassles.
