I have a question for you guys. I took my dakota to get it inspected and it was failed for have lights on a light bar in the bed. The thing I dont understand is they are not even wired up yet. Basically just for looks right now. Has anyone else delt with this or did I just pick the wrong day and person to get an inspection?

Other than maybe if they didn't have the covers over them, I know you can get pulled over in some places for running them uncovered on public roads.

In MA, any light on a vehicle has to work to pass inspection - might be something like that. I heard of a cop that got flunked for having a light out on his overhead light bar, I'm sure he thinks he got the wrong day and person...

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Ok so it turns out that in West Virginia you can only have on additional set of aftermarket lights on you vehicle and they cannot be installed more that 32 inches off the ground. I already have a set of kc's on the push bar on the front and installing the lights on the light bar in the bed would obviously put them more than 32" from the road. The guy at the shop just told me to make them removable so I could put them on when I need them and take them off when im done wheelin and he would pass the truck. Its kinda crap, but I dont make the rules.
