Ah failed inspection again because both of my rear plate lights were out. I checked all the lights before I left, just forgot to check those. Pretty stupid of me not to check since my truck failed two years in a row when the sockets rusted out for the plate lights. Geeeeeez ---

dont feel bad, I passed inspection with blacked out inner turn lights, then a week later the albany sheriff didnt like it too much, and gave me unauthorized lights… Least its a simple fix… ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > They didn’t offer to replace them right there on the spot? Yeah sounds like he must have taken it to a vavoline or someplace like that without knowing the guys. Those guys are dicks. I took my girlfriends neon to my dads usual shop, the guy said i needed wipers and a rear tail light. I told him i’d take it straight to walmart and do that, he slapped a sticker on the window, I took care of the stuff myself. ---

the bulbs were good, I think the sockets are bad. yeah i took it to valvoline, better than most places though that can do more than just change bulbs. ---

I took mine to firestoned a few years ago, they told me it needed wipers, and wanted $40 installed. I told them I’d go get new ones and come back, they said they would charge me for a second inspection if the car left the lot, so I said "if it leaves the lot? Ok, and walked across the street to delta sonic, bought a set for a still expensive $20, slapped them on and said ok, sticker me up 🙂 " ---

Inspection is not a hard thing to pass IMHO. From I believe '94 and older, its just saftey and a visual check of the emissions ( OBD I )… OBD II is where it sucks… ---

im not sure if my g20 will pass or not… brakes arent the best…and when i tried to change the rears… i need calipers. as far as inspection goes… i think once its inspected and it fails… they just print out a sheet telling you that it failed and you dont have to pay again…thats BS. ---

No big deal, I fixed the lights last night. The bulbs were both bad and one of the sockets needed some convincing to get back working but its all good now. ---

It matters what you fail for, safety or emissions. Mine was safety so theres a 10 dollar charge to reinspect. These prices are regulated by the DMV so shops are not allowed to charge more, but they can charge less. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/inspection-pita/19228.md?page=2)
