Zdster - the only real issues that can't be fixed are rust and prior accident damage. If your car has either of those, then you might be in trouble. Aside from that, everything else can be fixed. They don't reject the car outright, they give a list of Discussion Items (DIs as kid dynamite mentions) that must be fixed before the car is approved. Just means more time gets soaked up...

kid dynamite, it depends on which inspector you get an what mood they're in at the time, history has shown. They wanted to keep the Xenons in and keep it legal, which was why they went to the effort of seeing if they could meet the regs before just swapping the whole unit over. I foresee a black market for Xenon headlights in the future though lol.
