| How
is the Lamp Inspection conducted?
An
Official Brake and Lamp Inspection is conducted by technicians
licensed by
the
Bureau of Automotive Repair in a station licensed to do such inspections
using
B.A.R. approved equipment and procedures. These stations are subject
to
B.A.R
regulation and oversight.
For the Lamp Inspection, the licensed technician will check to
see that
the lighting systems of the vehicle is in correct operating condition.
This
will generally include using specially designed and certified
equipment to
measure the aim of the beam of the headlights as well as the visual
inspection
of any exterior safety lighting devices such as turn signals and
clearance lights.
Also of major concern is the proper operation of the brake lamp
and tail
light electrical system. Once successfully completed, the technician
will issue
a certificate, good for 90 days, to be presented to the requesting
agency, usually California
Department
of Motor Vehicles.
Then
the registration process may be completed.
