So cover up 1 headlamp?

Might be worth asking for a copy of the letter (from the State under Freedom of Information or somesuch).


The dealer is asking for that letter. Of course, the dealer was shot down by the Maryland MVA over two years ago, and has done nothing to date to address that. Nor did the deler tell me the car was illegal in Maryland. I'm seriously pissed and disappointed.
