If a vehicle is equipped with two fog lights, how many must work for it to pass inspection?

For a vehicle equipped with fog lights, the requirement for passing inspection is that fog lights are not subjected to the same scrutiny as other lighting systems such as headlights or taillights. In North Carolina, fog lights are considered optional equipment; therefore, their functionality does not impact the overall pass or fail status during a vehicle inspection. This means that even if the fog lights are inoperative, it does not affect the vehicle's ability to pass inspection.

It's important to recognize that while functionality is relevant for certain mandatory safety features of a vehicle, fog lights are not required for compliance with inspection regulations. This distinction allows vehicles to pass inspection even if their fog lights are not functioning.
