I just took my conversion in and got it smogged. Mind I have a REF sticker so this may need to be taken in for account.
I had no problem with the visual and got plenty of complements on the conversion. It did initially fail the monitor test....as I had the battery pulled (due to storage) and it needed to be run a couple of days to get a log compiled in the ECU, and allow some speratic (& false) cel lights to clear out...something to do with the car sitting for so long without power....I guess.
Basically it all matters where you take the car to get it smogged and how **** the technician is. One thing for certain....make sure that the place is a "TEST-ONLY" inspection center....as the places that are authorized to test and repair tend to "find" problems and then charge you to fix them.
Cheers

So would I still need such a device if I had a wagon wiper stalk?

Have one, thanks. So basically, I just need to run wires to the right place? I was under the impression that there is some... resistor thingy I need that is missing on the wiper assembly end.
