Will I fail car inspection if AFS light is blinking?
As title says. Sorry for these sudden threads/post, I just got my car back from the body shop where it was for a month and my inspection is expired. So I'm trying to handle so many things at once.

AFS light will stop flashing...
However, headlights will no longer Auto Level up and/or down..

You probably won't fail. I've had my beater car with a check engine light pass inspection with no problem year after year. (cel was from an aftermarket intake) I don't think the inspector would be worried about afs not working so as long as all your lights are working I wouldn't worry about failing.

"Cheating" ?? 
If he updated his headlights to the 2011 Lamps with LED's... Then he has a flashing AFS light..
AFS stands for "Adapative Front lighting System"... The AFS ecu is looking for two AFS swivel motors that bascially are now not there...
Plus, all of this shouldn't really apply to the "inspection".. However, NO light is always better than a flashing indicator light...

I got an AFS cel after I changed my rims. My ride height changed thus throwing off the sensor. I adjusted it from under the hood, or you can just put and OBDII scanner on it and delete the codes.
