and finish the inspection, which included about $60 for the sticker and $50 to replace a burnt out fog light
I was gonna asterisk that bit, but never got around to it. $50 to replace a burnt out fog light, well fine. The part's $17 online. In this case Subaru has made the lamp moderately difficult to replace, because you have to bend your hand around stiff plastic and remove catches that you can't see, and they're plastic and break and stuff. I have bad tendinitis and can't do this procedure myself. And it's one of those bulbs you can't touch with your bare hand. So, fine, $50.

The thing is, it would have failed inspection with one fog light out. WTF Pennsylvania! Most cars don't have fog lights, so why does it fail inspection with just one?

I looked it up and the law says you can remove the wiring for the lights and pass inspection. This is why people just fake their inspection if they can get away with it.
