Just a couple questions, what are the main things I should swap out before the inspection? Are my clear corners going to be alright or should I put the amber corners back on? Now i understand every guy you go to is different but what kind of problems have you experienced? I've heard they dont even like aftermarket headlight bulbs. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

That's some about the light/corners...

Things like headers, non-CARB'd intakes you should look at before inspection. Of course if your exhaust system is over 95 db and the smog is through the roof then you're gonna fail....

 

Shit man, I had to replace my stock headlights for my nokya's, my ambers had to be reinstalled to even pass inspection. Depends on the guy, I passed in July at a different guy with tail light tint, tinted windows, clears, and many other mods, just depends on where you go and who you know. If I were you, I'd put the ambers back on, but you stripped your screw, so just try it, if they bitch, take them the ambers, that's what I did. Where u takin it anyway foo?

 

I've had trouble with my clear corners when it comes to inspection. They've told me that I needed to have amber bulbs, or that clear corners lights were actually illegal in tx. What a load of bull...

 

lol you will be ok. why are you getting inspected?

 

yearly inspection I'm guessing.

 

Its not a nooB question because Chris told me about how he had to bring a box of his stock parts and than others are saying how they got confronted about the stuff. I was just clarifying.

And yeah, yearly inspection..blahh. I think I'm just going to Firestone near where I live. It's where my parents go and I talked to the guys before about window tint and said they didnt care, its the cops job, not theirs. So oh well, I guess we'll see.

 

If they don't care about window tint, they shouldn't care about your clears. It's like this for all the cali people that don't understand. We have a yearly "safety inspection" and emisisions inspection. The state safety inspection is what he's worrying about, but like I said it all depends on who does the inspection. You can get hit on the clear corners because they don't have the OEM stamp on them, like the ambers and stock headlights. They also check your headlights and brake lights, for example my nokya's were too high of a wattage to pass. If they don't care about tint at firestone, hopefully they just dont' care about clears, the last place i went didn't care about any of it, and just inspected my brakes, tires, etc.

 

Oh alright. Thanks Chris! (p.s. I might be getting new wheels!!)

 

I think you have to put your amber corners in....cause technically it has to have amber bulbs and importantly refelectors in them....dont quote me on it...

 

Do you have to pay for these stupid yearly inspections?

 

yeah, i think mine was $36

 

No that's state registration (just mailed mine) inspections are $55 here in allegheny county

 

nah man, my inspection was around 35 bucks, but I still need to get my registration... i dont know how much its gonna be

 

fake inspection stickers FTW

 

im pretty sure in pa your have to have atleast 1 amber reflector on each side in your front.
but going to mechanic friend =ftw

 

make sure you get it done by due date, or now NC will fine your ass 250 bucks right off the bat. Glad I still have my MAsshole plates

 

poo. do i have a 15 day grace period? my registration expired today...

 

no later than the 15th of the following month, or you'll have a fine in the mail.
