Halos

Alexwallace23 · 11-26-2013, 08:02 PM

FYI to all who have halos and live here Texas.... Do not have them on when you go to get your state inspection. I went to get my inspection today and I was told I would have to take them out because Texas laws do not allow it. The halos are not colored or even that bright in daylight. I tried to argue that other cars are being made with similar LED lights but that didn't work because of the fact that the car was not made with them. The OEM LED daytime running lights that these European cars have are actually brighter than my halos. So I think this is the dumbest DOT rule Texas has.

LMAO, you need a new shop, that is all. Texas's inspection is the biggest wishey washey BS thing I have ever witnessed. Shops seem to make up their own rules based on what they personally believe in... Like window tint. Lol

Find a new shop or ask around here for a new shop that doesn't give a flying fùck

Oh I did... I went to another shop a few miles away with the halos off and I got the sticker with no more issues.

Lol, cool

It's mind blowing to me how stupid TX is in testing vs CA. (Yes I know CA is way more Nazi, but at least it's consistently Nazi)
