I've smoked the tails on almost every car Ive owned and never had an issue passing inspection before, but since I still get free inspections on my xD through Toyota I figured I'd save some cash and have them do it this year. Lo and behold they won't pass my car now with smoked tails... I'm assuming this is just Toyota being a hardass like they usually are... but has anyone else had this experience with Toyota? If so I'll just fork out the cash and take it to my normal garage.

Yes, I used Niteshades on my tails, and they appear black when not in use, but when you turn the lights on at night or apply the brakes they light up perfectly within the "minimum visablity distance" you need to meet.
