I'm really not sure. Bill and Charlie have experience with this.

I was asked how bright the amber fogs lights are. Hard to compare since it is all that is installed, but here is a shot or two with only parking lights and the. With fogs on. (I should have probably turned off the light on the side of the house...)

Failed VA safety inspection today for torn wiper blades (replaced), trunk bulb inoperable (replaced both with Ziza), and trifecta enabled... Ugh. Thanks to Justin, BP, Bruce and Tony for help and recommendations. I thought about just pulling the fuse and I don't have time to get it coded and reinspected before he leaves on Sun. I called the inspector and they said if the fogs are not installed then they don't have to work so it will pass. They have been removed and will be reinstalled tomorrow after the inspection!

There have been numerous reports of people failing VA inspection for having removed fog lights but leaving the switch and wiring intact. According to the law, if it's installed then it has to work, so them seeing the switch most likely will result in a failure if you don't swap the LCM with one that doesn't have a fog button.

Please let me know if you need an emergency coding and I'll head down on Saturday if need be.

Why would trifecta get you a fail? Doesn't that mean the fogs are on?

Some Virginia state inspectors are super picky.

Fog lights can't be on when brights are. Trifecta allows all 6 lights to be on at once.

I guess. My car passed in Nov though...

Haha you should've told them that they pass it before and that you could report them since they messed up. Messing though. Good luck! I always try to go to my regular inspector that let's somethings slide.

Car passed this morning with fogs removed! Thanks for the assist guys and Botund's willingness to drive my way and re-code the car--what a guy.
