Well when my SPF went thru inspection 4 yrs ago, I dont believe they actually tied the light lens numbers to the SAE numbers I sent in. I also dont have 4 way flashers, padded dash or padded visors.
SPF comes with defroster and wipers which NYS requires. They also want the backup lights. You can always remove them after the inspection if you dont want to go thru the trouble mounting them permanently.
Sounds like you're not dealing with the woman in Albany that was there. Hopefully she is retired by now. I always made sure to talk politely to her so that my paperwork wouldnt 'get lost'.
