It's a "technical" inspection, nothing personal or feelings attached with the various part manufacturers of what your car is made of - which is a lot. Below is what germany regulates officially only. Although I wouldn't be surprised they ask you to remove the chrome frame covering your indicator :/

· Headlight alignment- Aim of a headlight not within limits prescribed in regulations. Lamp color, position, or intensity not in accordance with regulations. Headlight height less than 56 centimeters or higher than 137 centimeters.

· Incorrect turn signals- Light color, position, or intensity not according to regulations.

and don't forget your medic kit. That also will prevent you from buying gas if you don't pass your tuv
Beware of an expired medic kit...Mister Policeman won't be too happy
Of course , you are right, nothing is impossible, even to pass the TÜV with DIY equipment. But it is probably going to be a long, hard and expensive way to convince by expert opinions, certifications or sample expertise.

e.g. projectors need to have a washer system and automated height control...as far as i recall...or the inspector won't be happy.

well well...with all our regulations...at least the cars on the roads are safe, hopefully
