I'd like to see a version for headlights, but the logistics would be tricky. It's common in my area for people to lift their trucks, and they rarely readjust their headlights afterwards.
- estebank 2y agoEvery vehicle in (most?) states have to already be checked regularly for things like emissions. There's no reason we couldn't check for improper lights as part of that.

- toast0 2y agoEmissions inspections are being sunset in more places. Even where they're alive and well, it's gone from an active check with a tailpipe detector and a dynamometer to just plugging into the ODB-II and a visual inspection for unauthorized emission modifications. maybe a check for smoke in neutral when going from idle to full throttle and back. Americans don't want their cars inspected, so a new inspection criteria is unlikely. For those subject to mandatory safety inspections, it might already be part of the test.
