Are fog lights checked during the annual vehicle inspection?
1 Answers
During the annual vehicle inspection, the functionality of the fog lights is checked. If there are any issues with the fog lights, the vehicle will not pass the inspection. The vehicle inspection authorities will examine the vehicle's low beams, high beams, turn signals, reverse lights, brake lights, and fog lights. If the vehicle's lights are found to be either too bright or too dim, the lighting system will be deemed unqualified, and the vehicle will fail the inspection. Annual inspection process: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. The vehicle is driven into an automated inspection area where emissions, speed, lights, side-slip, and chassis are tested to ensure they meet the standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, which involves verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. The exterior of the vehicle is then inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation, and the interior of passenger vehicles and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and undergo a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the certification process.
