Is it important to fix a burned out headlight?

kinda like staying behind an oversize pulling up to a weigh station

 

Only from the waist down.

 

What is this weigh station thing you speak of?

I'm not familiar with them.

 

Thats where they wait for the guys with lights burned out to roll through. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

I had a cracked headlight housing on an older Corn Binder I was driving. Boss argued it didnt matter. I won and got it fixed. Anything broken should be fixed, whether it matters to DOT or not. Take some pride in your work. (Not a shot at the OP, more a shot at the guy he saw )

I had an 84 Cutlass dad and I rebuilt a 455 rocket and a blower and threw it in. Loved that car...till Dad hit a deer eith it. #######.

The rule of thumb I was taught, if it's on your truck or trailer, it better burn. Doesn't matter if it's a DOT required light or if it's a bunch of add on chicken lights, they better ALL burn.
