Nothin in Utard about it. Many cars come with sequential lights from the factory. I would grab a copy of your inspection requirements. Most states post them online at the DMV sites.

I think the guy was just being a dick to you. Every inspection I've had they've never checked my lights, lol. (I have sequential's also).

I guess headlight splitters are illegal in va too. Gay.

9. Foreign material is placed on or in front of the headlamp lens or interferes with the beam from the lamp. No glazing may be placed over or in front of the headlamps unless it is a part of an approved headlamp assembly.
a. Reject if vehicle has wire, unapproved plastic covers, any other materials that are not original equipment or any colored material placed on or in front of the headlamps.
b. Vehicles registered as street rods may have clear, rigid plastic or glass headlamp lens covers in front of sealed beam units to replace original manufacturer's equipment.
c. EXCEPTION: A clean impact film known as Headlight Savers produced by Grand Prix Motoring Accessories may be applied to the headlight lens to absorb impact of rocks, etc.

I looked up your Inspection criteria (Virginia) and no where does it mention either items you have.
It only states that Illumination of all lamps, lens color, and condition of lens.
In other words that the lamps work. You my friend have a jerkoff your dealing with.
Go to another station to get your inspection done.
You have failed nothing.

I had Seq Taillights and the VA Inspection failed me, I just unplugged them and took it back, Wait till the 2010 Mustang comes with them from the factory then they can't say anything.

*EDIT*

I found a Mustang Friendly Inspection station in Northern Virginia, the owner has a Modded Mach 1...

Chances are the 2010 tail lights will be sequential only when signalling a turn. When you apply the brakes, they won't sequence.

I think it's silly though, I love my sequentials!

I honestly don't see a problem with the sequentials, according to the book, its perfectly legal for these bikers to ride around with strobes in their headlamps to make themselves visible to traffic, i would compare that to the sequentials, no harm no foul. and yea 2k05gt is right. i do have a tendency to be lil more lenient with mustang drivers. lol

Wow. Everyone states they are 50 state legal.

American Muscle, Dallas Mustang, Stack Racing...etc... I guess they are wrong.
