I'm due for vehicle inspection in June and have clear corners with orange bulbs, and a CAI. Do I need to put the OEM parts back in before going to inspection?

 

I would change the clear corners back to the factory ones.
The CAI you don't have to worry about it

 

yo GLex
how u manage that avatar wihtout being premier?

 

^^^I think the yellow box disappears when it is time to renew you subscription.

I could be wrong.

 

+1111 Definitely switch out the clear corners.

 

Yeah I get occasional stares from police. Don't know whether it's the clears or the vortech whine or the Stillen catback or all of the above.

 

Now the question is where the hell did I put them?!?!?!?

 

I may be mistaken, but as long as the CC's emit the oem bulb color it is legal. I on the other hand have been riding around for the past year with red LEDs in the CC's Not a single ticket for them and not a peep out of the poopoo

 

clears with orange bulbs is not illegal.

 

NHTSA requires that the reflectors must be amber in color. They dont care the color of bulbs hence the cars are not imported to the US with clear corners. Does your avg cop know this? prob not but i wouldnt risk it at inspection.

 

yeah, they can be real a**holes and fail you bro.

 

...i have blue tinted lamin-x headlight covers - does anyone know for sure if I'm a going to get a ration of shxx about this too? if i peel em off, they'll be worthless...same cost as if i went to pvt inspection.

???

 

In Pennsylvania, clears with orange bulbs is still failing - well at least at an Infiniti Dealership. I now take my car to an independent shop and always keep the amber corners in my trunk in case. I say take the car to an independent if you can, they may not be as **** as the dealership.

 

...bump

Anyone have experience with NJ state inspection stations re

- tinted headlight / tailight covers
- HF Cats or exhaust
- other

> would a private garage inspection be any safer?

...last year i got dinged for a wiper blade on my daily driver, what a bunch of humps...

 

When you start Mod'ing you must be prepared to pay if that what it takes. I have always mod my car so first thing I do is find a shop or mechanic that will let me slide My friend moved from NY to NJ and as far as I know NJ is much stricter than NY. If my friend can find a place to pass his Turbo'd Civic then you too should be able to find one. Look around and ask local car enthusiast.
