Clear corners won't pass inspection WTF?!?!?!?

[Formula413]

Just went to get a sticker today and the guy said clear corners won't pass, even with amber bulbs. It has to have a yellow reflector. Give me a fuckin break. And the car passed last year like that, at the same place, and the same guy!!! I'm gonna try a different place. I'm pretty sure there are cars that don't have yellow housings even from the factory. Who thinks up all this dumb shit? I could see if they lit up white or red or blue or some shit, but they're fuckin yellow!!!

i had a guy give me a hard time with that a few years ago...he was like "i could fail u for those" he didnt tho cause he couldnt lol. i knew quite a few people that did stickers at that time and they all told me as long as you have amber bulbs its legal. Dont know if the law has changed but what a dumbass thing to fail u for.

if the lens has the dot approved lifted writing on it they can't fail you as long as the bulb is amber if there is no dot marking they can fail them anytime they want

Yeah they've been getting tougher lately.

It helps to find a friendly station and tip well ;)

I just meant they are dot approved and have the approval lettering on them.

i cant remember if in NH legally they fail or not. they could. we have the rule book at work but im not there at the moment. even if they do fail i would prolly never fail someone for that unless i FUCKIN HATED THEM

Had a customer call today and said they failed him because his windsheild washer/sprayer didn't work. Awesome,fails for that(because his tank is holding pure methenol) but passes the plug in test with a Cammed/blower setup.

That same inspector passed my Escort once with two bald tires and a bad ball joint. They are pretty lenient in general, I think they must have had some issue, maybe they passed a car with clear lenses and got in trouble for it?

The car is back at rents now, I'm gonna check the markers for DOT markings next time I'm over there. I need to figure something out cause there's no way I could go back to yellow now, the clear looks so much better. I think the next place I'm gonna try will pass it though.

why the hell do you need to get it inspected? thought they stopped doing "inspections" in CT unless it was a salvage, rebuild, or older than 1985/6 and hasn't been registered in more than a year?


the only thing one should be concerned with is emissions I thought?

I don't live in CT. Mass = safety and emissions. Emissions is only a plug in though.

To top it off, today I take my Civic for a sticker and they can't do it because the VIN doesn't much the number that the registry has on file. Something very similar to this happened last year with the Formula too. The fucking registry has set sail on the USS FAIL!!!
