Default Never, I've been through 4 NYS inspections at the same shop and passed.

The Man has never said anything either during the very few times i run into him.

Default Went to court and fought it :-)

Fought it two ways:

1) The law I was ticketed under specifically applied to MA registered cars (as are most equipment violations), so it obviously did not apply to me and;

2) the officer had no proof that my headlights were faulty. He didn't take a picture of my car and he didn't have any reg or information on where the reflectors were suppose to be. AND my car is properly registered in CT.

So the cop had no factual or legal basis to ticket me :-)
