Brake And Light Inspection
I've titled several salvage vehicles in CA in the last 5 years. You do need a break and light inspection, but I've never had the CHP do it. There are special inspection stations that do it.They are listed on the DMV website. I'll come back and post a link in a few minutes. FROM THE DMV WEBSITE: Brake and Light Inspection Certificates Check the yellow pages of your telephone directory or business guide for California state-licensed brake and light inspection stations. The certificates indicating your vehicle has passed California brake and light inspections are required for registration. Certificates are not required for trailers weighing 3,000 pounds or less gross vehicle weight. Exception: When a California official brake and light station that inspects specific vehicles, such as motorcycles or large commercial vehicles is not located within a reasonable distance, the California DMV will accept a Statement of Facts (REG 256) from a California repair shop attesting that the brakes and lights are in proper working order.
