Do you even know what CA does?
Besides smog tests, CA Doesn’t give a rats ass, unless the car is registering as a salvaged. then you need a basic Brake and lamp.
Exception is now all commercial vehicles utilizing diesel power trains that weigh over 15k. They’re doing more in depth tests.... on emissions....
Not since 1986. Beginning in 1980 in the Navy, I had cars registered in California, in those young days I just did what was need to get them licensed.
