Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2005How 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?

Didn't the '89 have a headlight defeat switch on the center console behind the hand brake? --Gene > Our 89 Accord had a minor collision which a headlight will not flip > down or up automatically.

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. Stay safe. 'Curly' >> 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.

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. > 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.

NoCal. If the colluision repair cost more or near the value of your car then a brake and light inspection is due. The car's worth $509US. >>in SoCal, there is no brake and light inspection... where are you? > > NoCal.

The car's worth $509US. are you sure? how does dmv determine the value of the vehicle? sounds more like a salvage vehicle issue to me because the only time i've ever had to get a brake & light inspection is when i've re-registered a de-registered vehicle. in that case, just open the phone book - the places that do it are listed among the smog test stations. > Sam Nickaby wrote: > > NoCal.

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. or request an extension of time to fix the thing. > > Sam Nickaby wrote: > > > NoCal.

Make sure they are aimed properly in the up postion. Don't flip the lights down. Leave them up all the time until you can properly fix the lights. ------------- Alex |
