Is it important to fix a burned out headlight?

I much prefer nights. Always have even before I began this job.

Yeah, I've seen it. I can't really remember off the top of my head if it's a violation, but if I were a LEO and saw any truck with a blown light over something that identifies them, I'd wonder what they are hiding.

Since there are quite a few of them though, guess I'd have to pick and choose my battles.

Kind of makes me wonder if those red light cameras can still pick up the plate. It's in a weird spot and not illuminated....hrm.

 

When I got the inspection report the license plate light was on there. It's just a fix it though. But, he was probably going to pull me over anyway because random inspections in Nevada are like a given. Since Elko is a NHP training grounds.



The red light cameras are not too strict on trucks. Because the guy that reviews those clips and pictures looks at the and throws them out.(for most part) The red light cameras are set up more for cars so the tractor is too long to capture the rear plate BUT, the front plate can be caught and you could be ticketed if they wanted to.

 

Haha. What model is that? I wanna guess m series,have a number in mind but dont want to get too technical and look like a fool lol

 

It's a 745i they don't make them in M models the higher model of this is an ALPINA. Instead of an M they decided to make an expensive model of this throw a supercharger and double the price on it and call it an ALPINA lol

 

Haha. Bet she screams...when I was younger I used to drool over the m3. I could never afford any higher ms. I'm a big 20s and 30s car guy but something about them German cars...

Sorry for the hijack

 

In Iowa they'd hand you a razor and make you scrape it off.

 

One night just north of Mobile i stop for fuel and the guy next to me had a black eye i told him, he answer me back i am almost home i'll take care of that later.

We both pull out same times going south there was a state trooper sitting in the dark in the on ramp guess what, he went straight after the black eye guy.

Is it important to fix a burned out headlight......YES it is!!!

Let's make it worst since the guy was almost home let's say he did push his log a bit to make it home...

Now it's going to cost him a ticket for a burned headlight and ticket for the log...and all that was easily avoidable.

No i dont live in Mobile or even Alabama.

 

Mine is straight pipe from cat back it screams in its own ways it's only a 4.4 v8 compared to the Alpina I want to say 5.5 v8 lol I want their motor in my car.......or just the supercharger hah

I've gotten into trouble with the semi truck tint a few times in Nevada and Utah. But that's not going to stop me from driving with comfort. At least my right arm and left arm color stays the same. Haha

 

For me it's simply the fact that it just plain sucks driving on some unfamiliar 2 lane back road at night in the pouring rain with a headlight out. Even looking through a new windshield that hasn't started to glaze over yet it would drive me crazy. It's a 5 minute fix.

 

All the equipment on your truck, lights, brakes, air system, all supposed to be working. So, no, it's not OK to run with a headlight out. That's like waving a red flag at the bull. Get it? "Bull?" Geez.
