Can a Car Pass Inspection with Xenon Headlights?
1 Answers
Replacing headlights with a xenon system will not pass the annual vehicle inspection, and the original setup must be restored for the inspection. The requirements for headlight luminous intensity are as follows: 1. Scattered light is prohibited. 2. Light intensity is restricted, with the low beam required to be no less than 1050 lumens and the high beam no less than 1450 lumens. 3. Color temperature is limited to no higher than 6000K. Below are additional guidelines regarding headlight usage: 1. Do not use high beams when driving in urban areas. 2. When approaching a crosswalk at night, alternately switch between high and low beams to alert pedestrians. 3. High beams can be used when driving on highways or rural roads. 4. As a courtesy, turn off high beams when meeting another vehicle.
