Default VA states inspections blow MONKEY
Ok, Today I went to get my state inspection done and as you can see I have a 2003 s-10 extreme and I have a set of toucan industies euro tails with hyper silver finish. The original tails have plain red lenses. The new tails leave one bulb unconvered so I replaced it with a Red Bulb. Well according to the inspector I'm not allowed to have any colored bulbs on the vehicle unless there amber.

The Fucking Original Lenses are RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the FUCK IS THE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is correct. That's what the fucking deal is! You can call it stupid all you like, but it is still the law. That man doesn't want to risk loosing his license to inspect which helps provide food on the table for his family just to "cut you a break", it's that simple.

You said that the brake bulb was left uncovered an dyou used a red colored bulb. Does that mean the the section of the lens is clear? If so, you are breaking the law, plain and simple.

that's the thing it's not a brake bulb. on s-10's the tails have 3 bulbs

1 brake light
1 reverse light
1 extra light on the side used as a filler and doesn't change when the brake is hit and it's just there.

that's the one that is red. The brake light has a red lense on it, the side marker has no need to be there but it's there.
