What should be noted about the condition of a vehicle's lights during the inspection?

During a vehicle inspection, it is essential that all lights function correctly, including indicator lights. Proper functioning of all lights is crucial for vehicle safety and visibility on the road. This includes headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and any other auxiliary lights. Each of these lights plays a specific role: for example, turn signals aid other drivers in understanding your intended maneuvers, while brake lights communicate deceleration.

Ensuring that all lights are operational is also part of compliance with state inspection regulations. Non-functioning lights can lead to safety hazards and may result in failure of the inspection. Therefore, the requirement that all lights must operate correctly is both a safety measure and a regulatory necessity.

The importance of this standard makes it clear why all lights, not just the headlights or lights of specific brightness levels, must be thoroughly checked during the inspection process.
