You will theoretically fail an inspection in Massachusetts for misaligned headlights, but I've never once heard of anybody actually failing because of it.

- vuln 4y agoIt's typically a simple fix if it's just an alignment issue. That on most cars takes 5 minutes, pop the hood, grab the right screw driver and adjust the beams. A mechanics might charge $20 for this. Now in newer cars with active headlights this method probably won't work, but the active headlights most likely have self leveling and a test to see if they are within spec.
- technothrasher 4y agoYeah, as you say, the old "drive up to garage wall, mark centers of where lights hit the wall, pull back 25 feet and adjust the headlights to the center of the marks" doesn't work on most modern cars any longer.
