We have had all the parts changed that the code says "might" be a problem. Nothing is impacting anything safety related..... NOTHING. No bad emissions. Passed every other requirement but this light issue. Just more BS laws in MA. MA inspection process is just to find work for repair shops. Just like dentists that want you to have xrays all the time when you go in for a cleaning. They just want to find more business opportunities.

You can't just throw parts at it and expect to fix it. But I get it, no one wants to spend money on an old car, 2 more years and it doesn't get an emission test anymore!
