Bottom line, you are free to do whatever your wallet can afford.

Isn't state safety inspector and intelligence an oxymoron? Some of the inspectors I've dealt with were lucky to find their way to work. Seriously doubt many would look at the bulbs to see if they are DOT rated, if they do I would have the old bulbs to swap back.
I've lived in several different states, some with and some without inspections. It has been my experience that most state inspections are just a money maker, not a real service. I wish all states inspected properly, would get some of the fog machines off the road! I would be happy to pay for a "real" inspection!
