I just got my inspection and I didn't even put in the amber bulbs had the clear corners with the blue bulb in and still passed. I guess it all depends on the shop. Because I heard too people haven't passed with illegal tints and the mechanic didn't say anything about that either. If you wanted to be on the safe side put in the amber bulb before inspection.Originally Posted by r-ezz.e
We dont have inspections in Vegas but we do have smog emessions, Usually a Ben Franklin gets you a "pass".
Do they do that with inspections?
Love,
Matt
i passed w. blue bulbs here in NY
yeah, we dont have inspections out here, just smog like nevada. is that something you guys have to do every year or two? whats involved with it?
Here in NY we do inspections, but since im buddys with the shop owner im only put through the smog test. One time i went and they failed me for worn tires I was like WTF were the owner, and the owner said noo, just hte smog test.
But its stupid really they test every silly thing, headlights highbeams, signals brake lights. all the little things we usally do.

thanks guys...i would think it wouldn't be a problem either but the monster of all motor vehicle departments in the U.S. of A is here in Jersey. And like it was said earlier, they check for all little shit. That's why i was asking cuz 2 yrs. ago when i got my car inspected, they failed me cuz one of my brake lights were out (which was valid) and i had hyper white bulbs which shows blue if it's not turned on. Can u believe that?

what would allow them to fail you on your inspection is the lack of an amber colored reflector. front turns can be amber or white in color. go out to walmart or the auto store and pick up two cheap amber reflectors and stick them on with double sided tape. then take them off after the inspection. cheers.
I thought it was just the bulb. Don't some cars come stock with cleared corners? I know on my step dad's elantra he has clear headlights with an orange bulb.
yeah my little Hyundai santa fe had clear corners, no amber reflectors anywhere on the front.............in UT they wont pass ya if you got colored bulbs, blue green red etc....only amber, i dunno about all clear bulbs. i had clear corners on my truck with blue bulbs and had to get amber bulbs those bastards..... :evil:
go out and check your bumper again z. the reflector doesn't have to be on your turn signal it just has to be somewhere on the front of the can on the side so if your parked at night other cars can see the reflection. there are a lot of cars that have a thin (maybe 1/2 tall) and long reflector recessed into the side of the front clip or front fender. cheers.
inspections???-we don't have those. we don't even have smog emissions.
only amber reflector the truck had was in the corners, but i bought clear ones, so no more reflector anymore on the front

aaahhhhh see it "had" amber reflectors but you removed them when you cleared the corners. all cars, by law, are supposed to have amber reflectors on the front be it part of the turnsignal assembly or stuffed into the bumper somewhere. it doesn't matter as long as they are on the side in the front.
sorry i haven't posted recently but i did wanna tell ya guys that i did pass inspection w/no probs. So i guess as long as there was an amber light blink, it was all good.
VIO, it funny how u mention about the amber reflectors cuz i've noticed it also that even if a car has a clear coner headlights there is always an amber reflector somewhere below.
thanks for inputs and posts.

Congrats. All I remember about light color is amber or white up front, amber or red in the rear.
