If approaching cars are flashing their brights off and on at you as get close and your brights are not on, then it might be time to have your headlights adjusted.
Glass: Visually check all of your vehicle's windows for cracks and large chips. This is particularly important for the front windshield, and it often bears the brunt of flying road debris. Rule of thumb is that a chip smaller than a quarter is nothing to worry about.
That is unless the damage goes all the way through the windshield. Chips can also spread, so if you have a chipped windshield, it is best to have the chip repaired by an automotive glass repair company. Some of them will even come to you! If the chips are too large, then replacement is your only option. Some windshield cracks can pass a state inspection if they do not run directly across your field of view. If you have a cracked windshield, it is best if you stop by a garage or shop that offers inspections and ask their Inspector if your windshield will pass.
If your vehicle is equipped with electric windows, they must be fully operational. If they aren't then repairs are going to be necessary.
Mirrors: Examine your exterior and rear view mirrors. If they are loose, see if you can tighten them. If any are cloudy or delaminating, then they will likely need to be replaced.
Outside mirrors should also be free of cracks and chips. Repair or replace as necessary. Wiper Blades: Examine your front and if equipped rear wiper blades. Look for signs of peeling, chipping or dry rot. Worn brakes, tires, windshield cracks, are just a few items that cause a vehicle not to pass a Virginia State Inspection.

Station supplies issued to an inspection station can be used only by that station and are not to be loaned or re-issued to any other station. Appointed stations will keep sufficient inspection supplies on hand to meet their needs. This will include certificate of approval stickers for vehicle, trailer and motorcycle.
Vehicles bearing out-of-state registration are exempt from inspection requirements, but may be inspected upon request of owner.
Such vehicles inspected shall not be issued a certificate of approval sticker unless they meet West Virginia standards. Fleet stations may inspect only vehicles registered in name of company or vehicles under lease to that particular company. All vehicles operated under a dealer's permit must be inspected, approved and have affixed to the windshield thereof a valid West Virginia certificate of inspection sticker before being operated on the streets or highways, except those new vehicles expressly exempted by West Virginia Code, Chapter 17C, Article 16, Section 9.
Reports of violations of the inspection law of these rules and regulations will be investigated and, if found to be justified, will result in the suspension of the station inspection certificate. Any vehicle which fails to meet the requirements for approval will be issued a rejection sticker by the inspector mechanic. If a station has issued a rejection sticker to a vehicle, and the vehicle is taken to another station for inspection, the rejection sticker will be removed only if the vehicle passes inspection.
When a station has been suspended or voluntarily canceled, it must release to a member of the West Virginia State Police all inspection supplies, posters, inspection stickers and certificate of appointment. Any vehicle that has been raised in altitude as described in WV Code 17C, must undergo a modified vehicle inspection.
