Doesn't say if can modify

 

LAMPS & REFLECTORS (Lines 10-15)
All lamps and reflectors shall conform to the location and color specified in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108. Note: All FMVSS can be viewed at web site: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-1998-title49-vol5/xml/CFR-1998-title49-vol5-part571.xml. See Tables I-a and I-b on Pages 8-15.
Background information for inspectors:
Some lamps must illuminate to a degree that they are functional in both daylight and nighttime. Examples are turn signals, stop lamps and hazard warning flashers. Other lamps must be able to meet the nighttime sight distance criteria of local ordinances. Examples are taillights, side marker lights and headlights.
Backup Lamps: Vehicles manufactured on and after 1/1/69 were equipped with one or more backup lights, but the four County ordinances do not mandate them. If a vehicle has a backup light, it must be white and be able to illuminate only in reverse gear.
Hazard Warning Lamps: Vehicles manufactured after 1/1/69 had these installed. Hazard lamps must flash simultaneously and function independent of the ignition. Hazard lamps will not flash when the service brake is applied.
Parking Lamps: All vehicles manufactured after 1/1/69 were manufactured with amber parking lamps. Earlier model vehicles had either white or amber.
Rear License Plate Light: Rear registration plates must have a white light, which will make the plate visible from 50 feet away from the plate.
Side Marker Lamps: Vehicles manufactured since 1/1/69 have side marker lamps and side marker reflectors. Side markers are illuminated whenever the headlamps or parking lamps are illuminated.

Stop Lamps (Line 11): All vehicles manufactured since 1/1/69 were equipped with at least two red stop lamps. Each passenger car manufactured on or after 9/1/85, and each multipurpose passenger vehicle, truck, and bus, with an overall width less than 80 inches, a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less, manufactured on or after 9/1/93, was equipped with a high- mounted stop lamp.
Tail Lamps (Line 13): Most vehicles manufactured since 1950 have two red tail lamps. Earlier models have only one.
Turn Signals (inside and out): Vehicles manufactured since 1/1/68 are required to have turn signals. All steering column mounted turn signal switches are self-canceling. Most vehicles manufactured after 1950 had self-canceling turn signals.
Fail if:
►Missing
►Damaged so that light shows through the damaged portion of the lens (placing tape
over the damaged portion of the lens is not adequate to pass the inspection but gluing that restores proper function is adequate) or moisture is present inside the lens
►Not properly installed, or directs light improperly (this could be caused by vehicle body damage that causes a properly installed lamp or reflector to improperly direct light).
►Not of an approved type or color (See Tables on Pages 8-15 and Hawaii Administrative Rules 19-132)
►Obscured or blocked in any manner or is covered with material that is transparent or non-transparent and which diminishes the function of the lamp, lens or reflector so as to put it out of conformance with FMVSS and local laws, ordinances or rules (If modified, the burden of proof of conformance is on the vehicle owner). If a lamp or reflector that is not required is installed, it must not diminish the effectiveness of any required lamp or reflector. A rear window with aftermarket tinting must not have tint over the portion through which the high mounted stop light shines. If that portion is tinted, it is considered an obstruction, because it puts the lamp out of conformance with FMVSS. This requirement is for 2013 model vehicles and later only.
►Inoperable, or operates improperly.
►The reverse light stays on in any gear position other than reverse.
►Headlamps (Line 10) do not have reasonably equal candlepower or cannot produce a
light sufficient to reveal any person or object straight ahead for a distance of 200 feet. ►Headlamps are not properly aimed (Instructions for using the aiming device must be available to inspectors at the inspection station).
►Turn signal (Line 12) or hazard warning lamp (Line 14) flashing rate is less than 60 per
minute or more than 120.
►Turn signal self-canceling device does not operate.
►Side marker lamps do not illuminate when the headlamps or parking lights are turned
on.
►The high beam indicator lamp, or any other safety oriented indicator lamp is
inoperative.
►Headlight height (measured to the headlamp center from road surface) is lower than 22
inches or higher than 54 inches (§291-25, HRS).
►Reflector height is lower than 15 inches or higher than 60 inches. Note: Sec. 15-19.3 of
the Honolulu ordinances requires reflectors to be mounted on the motor vehicle at a height not less than 24 inches or more than 60 inches above the ground. However, Federal standards allow a minimum of 15 inches for the following: tail lamps, stop lamps, parking lamps, reflectors, backup lamp, turn signal lamps, side marker lamps, intermediate side marker lamps and intermediate side marker reflectors. If any of these items is less than the County requirement but

within the Federal requirement, the vehicle should not be failed unless the vehicle was modified in a manner that reduced the height below a County requirement.

 

►Not of an approved type or color (See Tables on Pages 8-15 and Hawaii Administrative Rules 19-132)

 

What lights are you currently running?

 

Next one is 8000 posts

 

Led in the license reverse and halogen headlamp. They are all white

 

As long as the halogen head light is there I don’t think they will mess with you on the others. License plate one won’t matter for sure and reverse won’t either

 

They don’t measure the out put of the rears from what I can remember they just want to see if they are there and functioning.

 

And Color wise too right?

 

yes

 

Jsust worried have to change back sock everytime pass safety.



What about I interior? The bulb led white

 

For mine, I have been running LED Hi and Lo headlamps for 2 years. I took them to get safety at 2 different places in Ewa/Waipahu area and I passed. I also changed out the Fogs and license plate bulbs to LED and they passed. The only thing I didnt try when I got my safety last week was with the new Meso harness. I purposely did my safety check before I installed it so I didnt have to deal with any issues. To avoid having to do a return visit, I would just put all the original bulbs in your truck when you go for your safety and if they say its a no go, change them there and when you get home, change them back. I dont think it should be a problem though. the HRS is so vague that if they say you cannot use LEDs' then they are making shit up. When I read it it just states white color, no color temps or if it needs to be Halogen or LED. The LED's on my wifes Lexus and alot of the newer Toyotas are the same white (5500-6000k) color and since they are in projectors and not reflectors, the cut off is almost the same as not to blind oncoming drivers. one thing to note however is that it does say that you can only use HID's if it was equipped with the vehicle from factory.

And for the interior, I dont think that matters as long as you dont use Red or Blue to mimic a police or safety vehicle.

Forgot to mention, this is for a 3rd gen with projectors, not a 2nd with reflectors. Cause if they have one of those things that check the cutoff, then in the reflectors, it may not pass.

 

Shoots. Just keep stock to be safe ehh. As long motmblue or red cherry. Hid prob wont.pass
