Can a car pass the annual inspection after replacing the headlights with LED ones?

Whether a car can pass the annual inspection after replacing the headlights with LED ones 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 compliant, as long as the high and low beam angles are normal. Essentially, as long as the modified LED headlights do not affect driving safety, the car can pass the annual inspection smoothly. Relevant regulations for car annual inspections: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. 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 specified service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their records deleted, and they will be scrapped.
