Whether the modified LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the modified headlights meet the national requirements in terms of color temperature, brightness, and beam angle, which affect driving safety, they can pass the annual inspection. Two main aspects are checked: Whether the brightness meets the requirements, meaning the brightness must not be less than 1400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is up to standard, as long as the high and low beam angles are normal. Essentially, if the modified LED headlights do not affect driving safety, they can pass the annual inspection smoothly. Relevant regulations for vehicle annual inspections: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit them from continuing to drive. Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files deleted, and they will be scrapped.

How to Deal with a Small Scratch on the Car Paint?

There are several methods to repair a small scratch on the car paint, such as using a touch-up pen, wiping it off quickly with a clean towel, or purchasing new paint for repair. The detailed methods are as follows: 1. Minor scratches: For small car scratches, a touch-up pen can be used. Before using it, shake the paint in the touch-up pen evenly, then apply it uniformly on the scratch. After the paint dries, use polishing wax to enhance the finish by grinding the scratch area clockwise. 2. Primer not damaged: First, assess the severity of the scratch immediately after it occurs. If it's a light scratch with only faint black marks on the paint and the primer is not damaged, quickly take out a clean towel, dampen it, and forcefully wipe off the black marks. 3. Primer damaged: If the primer is damaged but the scratched area is not deformed or dented, it should be treated promptly to prevent oxidation and corrosion. Purchase paint that matches the car's primer color and follow the instructions for repair, or take it to a professional repair shop for better results.

The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another region, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is required. Vehicle transfer first requires a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is usually 1%-2% of the assessed vehicle value, while other fees, such as license plates and vehicle license, amount to approximately 165 yuan.

Complete documentation for a used car includes: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee records, and compulsory insurance. If the vehicle registration certificate or vehicle license is missing, or if there are unpaid compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it can cause endless trouble for the buyer.

If buyers follow the tampered odometer readings for maintenance, it can lead to a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries."

What Causes a Car to Stall Immediately After Starting?

There are several reasons why a car may stall immediately after starting: 1. Fuel quality issues: This is the simplest to check—try changing the fuel type or refueling at a different location. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body: This is a major cause of idle instability and stalling. Have the throttle body cleaned at a professional repair shop or 4S store. 3. Low fuel pump pressure or malfunction: This can lead to insufficient fuel supply, causing stalling. 4. Thick engine oil: If the car has been parked for a long time, the oil may become too thick, leading to stalling. This issue is not serious—just warm up the engine after starting.

Regular maintenance is also crucial, including checking fuel and electrical systems for proper function.
