I know in California you have to have them functioning, and they can't be anything but white/off-white.

If you really are that paranoid about getting in trouble for your criminal activities you could do what I did to a friend's car back in high school. I just tapped into the license plate lights line and put a switch in-line. That way any time we were (edited thanks to the fifth) we could just turn off the lights and go undetected.

It's slightly illegal... but I won't tell if you don't.
