Then look at this:

I checked he
http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms.htm
and found this PDF of the inspection regulations themselves:
http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/cr79.pdf

Looks like section 79.21(e)(2)(b) might make your lamps illegal if NY
requires side reflectors for your year. You'd have to dig up the relevant
state Motor Vehicle Safety Standard to find out if NY state regulations
require side reflectors. Chances are they do. A local inspection station
surely would have a copy of the MVSS in question.
