Hey guys, headed to Ramstein in July and bringing the S. I was just about to buy Ricks clear corners for my headlights and then remembered I gotta pass inspection over there. I will put orange bulbs in so it is still orange when they are on so figure it shouldn't be a problem but before I drop the money wanna make sure it would pass. Thanks!

 

clear corner it would pass, mine are clear and they come stock, Spanish regulation are very peacky, what is correct in germany is illegal in Spain most of the times

 

Im stationed in germany, as long as the turn signals work any us base has to pass them.

 

w000000t?

I wish I could live in Spain again.. in Spain "todo vale" (you can always pay money to a registered engineer and register "almost" everything).

In Germany you have to pay money*10 and after paying the money you still have a small probability to be able to pass the inspection (without TÜV or ECE certificate you can almost forget it)

Trust me .. been there, done that

Just a simple example.. how much do you have to pay or what do you have to do in Spain to be able to drive legally with 255 tires in OEM rims? nothing right? you don't wanna know what do you have to do over here...

 

REGESTERUNG A CAR ON THE GERMAN ECONOMY AND REGISTERING A CAR ON A sTATUS OF FORCES AGREEMENT WHILE ASSOCIATED WITH THE US MILITARY ARE COMPLETELY DIFERENT IN MOST CASES AS LONG AS A CAR IS LEGAL IN THE US IT WILL MOSTLIKLEY BE LEGAL FOR A SERVICE MEMBER TO DRIVE IN GERMANY.

 

yes thats true.. i saw last day two cars with "HK" number plates in Frankfurt.. one was a Integra, the other was a STI.. both slammed with huge single exhausts and with pitch black smoked windows (front and rear).

That's "out of limits" for us

 

Yup, mine passed no problem and I don't even have a diffuser of any kind with clear bulbs.

 

The Status of forces agreement freakin rocks you can get away with just about anything. My car is so loud i my wife wont even go near it!!
