Like many things, this is on a state by state basis. This state has no inspection and there are surprisingly few rolling wrecks. New Hampshire had semi-annual inspections that could be a pain in the ass. I bought an old Dodge pickup and somewhere along the line someone with big truck aspirations had added clearance lights to the top of the cab. Completely nonstandard and not legally required but because they were there they had to work. I've also been flagged for lack of a horn. The only time I use a horn is by mistake but you had to have one. They were good business for repair shops. The dreaded 'your ball joints are worn' was good for several hundred dollars.
