This is your interpatation not necessarily the states, your lights must be 
of the standards available at the time of delivery, which would be 1929 in 
the Dusies case and not of todays sepcs., and my goodness lets not forget 
the braking system on the "antiques", mechanical no less, these of course 
would not pass any states inspections or requirements, but again, it's what 
was available in 1929 and not 2005, antique cars are "NOT" subject to state 
inspections and yes we can drive them at night legally. "FT"
