Not a problem, Shawn! Bimmian sells LED license plate lights that mount in the stock location and are self contained. They are $50...But they look badass!Originally Posted by ELCID86

I'll take a look. In the mean time I ran two wires from the right side to the left and it provides enough power to illuminate the bulb so I can pass inspection.

GL with the inspection. I'm pretty sure in TX you pass the inspection as long as one bulb above the license plate is working.
Edit: here you go, I was right. Only one bulb. Look at #14.

Colin recently failed for having one plate light out and a fog out... All depends on whose doing the inspecting.
Justin, I looks like those lights still need the bulb connection "socket" for power.

What agency does these inspections and how often? Nothing like that in CA...minus the insane emissions requirements.

In Tx, the department of public safety (dps) is in charge. They are required once per year.

In VA, it's a state program executed by most service stations, repair shops and dealers. Safety inspection every year and emissions (codes checked) every other year) though this is only for certain counties near DC. Word is there are "secret shoppers" that help ensure the inspectors are doing the job correctly. It's automated so the DMV is tied in and the updates are transmitted automatically and are needed in order to update registration. And yes we have to pay for the privileged of both!

Gesh. I guess safety inspections are good. I always get a crack up when driving through Oakland on 580 at the cars that are some how still driving on the road, but shouldn't be.

Like the countless cars here in CT that drive around with completely blown shocks and can be seen with either the front or the back bouncing around uncontrollably at every bump?
I swear, CT needs to do safety inspections.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
