No, you won't need recon. Are you already a part of our group chat on the line app?

Thank you Atesix. That's good to know! Do you think I'll pass the safety inspection as well?

I'm actually not on the group chat.

You most definitely should pass safety. We have a meet/cruise coming up next week Saturday, you should come out. If you already have the line app, just click this link http://line.me/ti/g/jOw-IJk4Nu. If you don't have the app, download it and click the link to be added. There are a few of is that have done lighting retrofits ranging from jdm light installs to full on custom work. We can give you some pointers for installation. If you aren't mechanically inclined, our club is also sponsored by a performance shop that will do the work for a VERY FAIR price. Hope to meet you soon!

Thanks again ATESIX.

I actually don't live in Hawaii yet but currently in the process of moving over there. I initially bought parts to put on my car but decided to hold off on it 'til I find out exactly that the car will get through RECON & Safety Inspection. Might keep near stock to avoid the RECON deal, it seems very annoying.

I live in Los Angeles, but we don't have such regulation here other than smog being very strict. I just have a JDM clear corner and the US spec dual tip TRD exhaust, and debating to put on that 10series headlights. I figured as long as it's DOT approved I don't see why not it won't pass safety, but it's always to ask the locals who knows the game.

Very excited to meet you all in the near future, mahalo!

Good news is they don't give a rats a$$ about smog here. My rallycross Corolla is running all emissions removed, only a cat and no one bothers it. technically it should be reconned because its running super slight drop springs, but you can't tell as it still runs higher than a lot of cars.

Yea, LA probably has the worst air quality. But unfortunately, I'm more of a cosmetic guy than speed so this RECON thing afflicts the overall mod plan.

This might be a silly question, but are led back-up bulbs (which obviously only comes on when you're in reverse gear) and led license plate bulbs not allowed either??

^ I have both of these and I don't think these matter at all unless the color of the bulb is illegal

I have LED bulbs for license plate and reverse lights are okay as long as the bulbs are not blue. Got that info from a friend who is a HPD officer (Honolulu Police Dept.). He said as long as it's not blue it's ok.

Good to know. Thank you Fr-bless and 86geek.
I've already got the oem 10 series headlights (yes, they have the DOT stamp) swapped on to my car with some clear corners and wouldn't want any hassle by the cops. Besides, all of this would be worthless when I bring my car over there and don't pass the safety inspection. However, I gave up on putting on new wheels / suspension with the RECON deal.

Are after-market cat-back exhausts legal in Hawaii?

Don't know, but my son is friends with a Recon inspector and will ask him.

Why did you give up? I have aftermarket wheels and suspension and passed Recon.
