Default Need help! factory headlight height

I am got my car inspected a few weeks ago and it failed because the center of the head light was at 22" and is suppose to be at 24" according to Maryland law. Does anybody know or have access to a factory height car that can get me a measurement I can't believe it sat the high from the factory.

As someone from from NY, but I'm a little surprised that they failed you for this. This post is interesting:

So yours is stock as far as suspension goes? funny thing is I live in waldorf lol inspectors are a bunch of goobers. my invidia exhaust passed, but my car being at 22" to the center of the headlight is just too low.

I picked mine up used. AFAIK, it's stock, but I'll check again tomorrow. I have a pretty large tire-wheel well gap.


MD isn't the only place with this stupid 24" law.

The Federal Government specs it at 22", but for some reason, states like to add their own restrictions. It's beyond my comprehension.
