Default Failed Inspection??????

Hello, I'm new to this site. On july 2006 I purchased brand new 2007 Cobalt LT with no problems until today. During my lunch hour I took my car to geta state inspection at a local BP gas station. I always take all my older vehicles to this station pass inspection with no problems and I thought the Chevy Cobalt 07 will pass since it's 2 years old. With a new hired state inspector check my car he's said I need headlight low beam adjustment for $20.00.So he fail me for this crap soI call dealership since I have bumper to bumper warranty and they said they will check it out tommorrow. There was recall on 2005 chevy cobalt on exterior headlights but not for 2007 cobalt. Does anyone had problems like this?

Sounds like the guy needed some work. Headlight adjustment consists of turning 1 screw from under the hood.

You mean you can actually be failed for a headlight out of adjustment? I never knew that even when I had the misalignment problem with my projectors...[/align][/align]Adjusting headlights is very easy to do. Just find another vehicle about the same height and mark the focal point of the beams on a wall, garage door etc, with duct tape or something similar. Park your Cobalt in the same position and sdjust your headlights to match the focal point.[/align]

yea man.....If the lights don't shine on the road, its not a very safe vehicle.

Not many people will fail an inspection due to headlight aim unless the problem is really bad
