I have posted this too late. I should have had the foresight to do this a earlier and save myself (maybe) some hassle.
I brought my car to MD from NC. MD doesn't like my SilverStars. Say they are 'blue'. So I swap them back to the stock bulbs. Fogs too.
I gotta have my tint checked too. It passed. But what a pain since the inspection station can't do it and I have to take it to the MVA.
Also, NC does not have a requirement for front plates and the MD does... but what if I just don't do that... big fine?
I can say this... though it may mean nothing to the natives of MD: The MD MVA is fast. I have been there 4 times (drivers license, tint check, wife's van for plates, my car for plates). I was never there longer than 15 minutes. Ohio... an hour for anything is the starting point... same as in NC.
