Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to ship my Tahoe to the states from japan. I'm trying to figure out a few things that I might need to change so it can be legal in good ole 'Merica.
It's a Canadian spec so everything pretty much matches what a US spec tahoe should be. However, over here in japan! the tai lights and reverse lights had to be changed to meet standards here. I know in the states, the turn signal in the tail lights blink with the brake light so it would be red. Here, the reverse lights were turned in to the blinker and replaced with an orange bulb. You'll see in the pictures. And, a little reverse light was installed below the bumper. You can see that in the pictures as well. What do I need to do to change this? I think some how the circuit board or the wires were moved around to make these changes. Also, I have HID's installed in mine. After all the research around the web, I haven't been able to determine if they are even legal. I know people have them but, I need a definite yes or no because it's gonna have to be inspected before I get it registered.
And, there are side blinkers installed on the sides of both front fenders. I don't think that's original and might be something else installed to meet Japanese standards. Will I have an issue with that? I don't see why not, it's just added safety I guess.
Another thing, my instrument cluster is in KPH with MPH as secondary. Is this acceptable or do I need to get a new cluster?
That's about all I have unless ya'll have anything else I should be concerned with. I appreciate ya'lls help!
