Need CA DMV Brake and Lamp inspection. Tail light cracked and lost cover but functions fine. Will it pass?
I have a salvage title vehicle and DMV wants Brake and Lamp inspection. Car was backed into a poll a couple weeks ago. The clear plastic cover over the tail light cracked. I was going to Use some epoxy to reattach it but It fell off and was lost. Tail light functions fine, no issues as far as I can tell, just missing clear plastic cover. Can anyone tell me if it will pass or if I should have it replaced first? I don't have the money to replace it right now and would like to hold off on that if possible. Also can I be pulled over and be given a fix-it ticket over this? I'd like to know from somebody who knows and can give me the info I need instead of guessing. Thanks on advance.

maximum brake lights are activated via a swap which sits real on precise of the brake pedal below the sprint. It often works as an open circuit (meaning off), till you depress the brake pedal forcing the swap to open/amplify turning out to be a closed loop circuit (meaning on). that is akin to a wall swap turning a easy on and rancid. This one although works via an inner spring which reasons it to escalate once you press the brake pedal. the indoors spring is probable vulnerable or broken, inflicting the swap to proceed to be in the on place. additionally, seem below the sprint/precise of the wear pedal. The swap sits on a base tightened with the aid of screws, which will properly be loosened to regulate/align the swap place. examine to be sure they are no longer unfastened, inflicting the swap to be out of place. if so, set the swap in place on precise of the brake pedal, with the tip which contacts the pedal "interior/retracted" as a effect off, then tighten the screws. attempt it with the aid of depressing the brake pedal: because of fact the pedal is going down, the swap tip could desire to return out, as a effect turning the brake lights on. launch the brake pedal, the swap could reason the brake lights to circulate off. Have somebody watch the brake lights as you are trying this. in case you do not have all people, set a mirror on the rear of the vehicle so which you're able to do the checking out on a similar time as gazing the lights meditated on the mirror.
