The irony of this nonsense is that someone (maybe not TS if he bought the car 2ndhand) spent extra money to put extra brake lights when the original ones were deemed adequate by manufacturers and the road authority. 

"Customizers" will argue that more lights = more safety and you can give them that to a certain extent, but the inspection centres disagree. 

Thus you have just spent money to get more stress about being found illegal and now stress about how to disconnect it to pass inspection, I would disable the lights once and for all. 

Happy motoring! 

Totally agree with you. 

Some owners just want to spend extra money on such stupid mods like extra LED lights, stickers, dark dark tint, fanciful number plates, for whatever reason to haolian, backside itchy wanna be special from others, peer pressure, for fun, etc etc. Except for legal exhaust which you paid money for certificate. It all boils down to cost. And you know, I know, drivers out there wanna zhng, dun wanna spend money. Cheap mods buys trouble. 

Then when it comes to inspection, either beg here and there, asking which inspection centre more lenient, where to de-kit for inspection and install back after that. If fail, come here kpkb say inspection centre staff so siao on, pick on you, etc etc. 

As many has pointed out this saying, wanna zhng, mai scared, if scared, mai zhng. Let me add, ai zhng, mai kpkb when it is troublesome during inspection. Ai zhng, pay the price. Else stock-the-best. Safe yourself some trouble and fellow motorists. Please don't get me wrong, although I don't like these zhngs, but I cannot interfere with what others do. Just remember, you wanna play with the law, you play it by the rules. Don't make noise when you can't afford it. 

Happy driving! Cheers!

If there is slight oil leak at one of the rear shock absorber, will my car fail the inspection?

Disgruntled with the long queue, I parked my you sai çar right in front of the vicom changi gate at 7.30am!! First car!!

 

One question. The first test was to open up my bonnet and stuck a probe into the engine bay for few minutes.

 

What was tested? Emmision ?? Cos I did not see them poke the exhaust pipe.

Quarreled with one before. Kept insisting my exhaust was not stock. Told him to stand one side and let me talk to his supervisor cause he refused to acknowledge he does not have proof mine was not stock. 
in the enD the supervisor which was local or Malaysian let me thru.i challenged the to fail me cause I will bring up to LTA for wasting my time.   My exhaust is 100% stock. Was an old car and the inspectors didn’t know better. In any case I totally avoid vicom now. And try to avoid any pinoy ones.
