How do I pass brake light inspection?
Our 89 Accord had a minor collision which a headlight will not flip
down or up automatically. I have to manually flip them by hand. A brake and light inspection is due next month that requires a proper aim from the lights. I seriously can't fix this problem on time. How do I pass California's brake and light inspection when an inspector has to manually flip the headlight up and down? Thanks |

Here in Alberta, Canada, anything goes. One pointing at Jupiter, the other pointing at JAPAN is the most common combination. :-) The manufacturers tried to make headlights FOOLPROOF, but forgot that you can't make it make it illegal to sell SCREWDRIVERS to FOOLS.

Can't speak for CA, but that is the case in NJ. Badly aimed headlights are a common reason for failing state inspection, although I have certainly seen plenty of vehicles on the road with the "one pointing at Jupiter, the other pointing at JAPAN" combo. We sometimes refer to them locally as star & worm finders. |

Probably some agency deregistered my car since I had to report any >$500 accident to the DMV which they asked for the value of the car on my last title transfer. |
