Will I Pass Car Safety Inspection (Lights Work But Warning Light Still On)

I have a 2007 BMW X3.

During an oil change, my shop informed me that the right rear light is out, which needs to be fixed to pass the safety inspection.

I changed the bulb and confirmed it’s working again, but the “Headlamp Out/Malfunction” dashboard warning light is still on.

When I scan codes, nothing appears, and when I try to clear it, it still shows up.

Will I pass the safety inspection even with the warning light on, if all of my lights are visually working?
