you will pass as long as your headlights measure 24 inches from the ground

My headlights failed because I had blacked out the ambers & I was told to remove my "smoked" license plate covers in order to pass as well

Their main concern seemed to be suspension but they definitely took note of my cosmetic alterations.

Actually, you're supposed to get recon for anything you do to the car that alters it from stock as far as I understand it.

The lights are all based on height from ground even if they're OEM when you go in for Recon.
