How do I make an Army humvee (M998) street legal. It's a 1987 and it has everything a normal car does except backup lights and a lIghted license plate holder. If I add these is it street legal?

My car has 5600 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

The best way to determine if this would make your vehicle street legal would be to call your local non-emergency police number and ask them if that would be legal for your vehicle. You could also call or visit the city hall in your area to find this information.
