Ce light is not a rejectable item in this area of Va, and that is straight from the Va state police regional office director. The fog lamps however must be wired into the low beam headlight circuit. Randomn usefull info.

The CEL has been on in my Mazda truck for the last 2 years, and it hasn't failed for that. Its failed for other things though, unrelated to the CEL.

So im thinking about removing the switch for my fogs/painters taping my bumper to cover them up hah, or rewiring them.

ba, check engine light is on too, #1 O2 sensor is weak.
sup man just take off the lights or take it somewhere elsr for another 15. what are you driving these days anyway?

They can be rewired to be "running lights" which exclude them under the same rule as foglights. If you have a friend who is a SI ask him, or I can look in our book tomorrow to see if the law has changed.

Also a CEL is not an inspectable item unless in Nova when they do the emissions test.

Going to another place within the 15 days subjects to another 16 dollar fee and the possibility of that inspector finding something else the first one didn't.
