Is Driving with Headlights Off a Correctable Ticket

Hi,
I recently received a ticket in Los Angeles, California, with violation code 24250cvc for driving without headlights.

The ticket was marked by the officer as a correctable ticket, even if there was actually no mechanic malfunction (perhaps a mistake from the officer, perhaps his intent to just give me a warning).

I went to my local police station and got a proof of correction.

However, the court clerk is now telling me that the ticket is not correctable, and that I have to pay the fine (around $280) and attend driving school. My understanding is that he is arguing that the violation is a non-correctable violation, so we don't care what's on the ticket.

I'm thinking about contesting this, do you think I have any chances, or will the judge anyway consider the "correctable" mention on the ticket was a mistake?
Is the correctable aspect of a violation defined by what's on the ticket or by the violation code?

Thanks in advance

Briefly, don't bother with loitering around the windows anymore. Your best bet is to go to arraignment (appear in court) and get it dismissed there. Either schedule the appearance or go on the date noted on the ticket.

"Here's the proof of correction, Your Honor!" It is possible for a 24250 to be correctable under unusual circumstances, and the judge/commissioner will typically defer to the officer's judgment as noted on the ticket.

Ok thanks!
Do you have examples of the unusual circumstances you are mentioning?
Also, I'm not really used to California laws, any risk I get a worse fine if I go to court, and if, for some reason, the judge/commissioner disagrees with me?
