suba_rus Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I am planning to move to MA soon. If I clear the head lights on my car prior to the move will passing state inspection be a problem? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv8ingvector Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Heh not supposed too: but I don’t think it will be a problem...If you are rejected, just get some sticky amber reflectors for the bumper to pass the inspection somewhere else and then take them off once you pass.

dv8ingvector Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I pass but I know the guy…it is not “legal” if that is the question...but they may not notice ether; it is a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Has anybody tried? Yes mine passed with cleared lights........they will never notice, as long as it blinks amber, that's all they care about..... When/Where are you moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yep it just has to blink amber. Get some silver amber bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FameMax Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 MA law is that the bulb must reflect the original color, so yes it will pass with an orange bulb, but I doubt your going to get an inspector that will notice or care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv8ingvector Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 FYI guys: "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lighting equipment. The standard is very specific for tail/brake light lenses and front side marker light lenses. The standard requires red lenses (not red bulbs) for the tail/brake lights and red rear and side reflex reflectors and red side marker lights. A separate rear side marker light and reflex reflector may also be allowed for the rear lighting system to meet the standard. The front side marker lens lights can be either white or amber (yellow) and must also have an amber (yellow) reflex reflector incorporated into the lens or have a separate side marker light and reflex reflector to meet the standard." Simplified = amber reflectors required on front corners and red reflectors on the rear corners of all cars soled in the US. So if it passes; it is because they did not notice or did not care… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsmile71 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I removed the pre-cat on my Sentra and have no front plate (required in MA). I get my inspection from the same place that does my oil changes and routine maintenance. Haven't had any problems. It really depends on the place you go to. Some are a$$es, some are laid back.
