Be aware if two points:

 

1. Replacement parts are often difficult if not impossible to source for many aftermarket lights.  As a result, the installation of aftermarket lights are typically considered a "deduct" item during a PPI.
2. Many states now require certified state inspection stations to verify all exterior lighting on vehicles are DOT approved.  Failure to do so can result in the station losing their certification.  As a result, we have to fail any vehicle that unapproved lights installed.  In my state, this means any light that cannot be visually verified as a factory item.
