Can a car pass the inspection after modifying to LED headlights?
1 Answers
Modifying car headlights is in a vague state during annual inspections. Changing to LED headlights is similar to changing to xenon headlights. As long as the color temperature, brightness, and irradiation angle meet the requirements, it will not affect the annual inspection as long as the headlights do not scatter light and there are no factors that are not conducive to driving safety. More details are as follows: 1. The annual car inspection is a national mandatory safety inspection for vehicle owners. In terms of lighting, the annual inspection has requirements for the color and brightness of the lights. The replaced bulbs cannot exceed 6500K, otherwise the inspection equipment cannot detect the lights; also, the replaced bulbs must be properly aligned in height and direction, with a central focusing point. The inspection equipment also detects the brightness at the central point. If the light is scattered, the inspection will not pass. 2. The position of the bulbs and the distance to the rear cover are different for each car. Current LED bulbs come with either fans or heat dissipation aluminum strips. You should choose LED bulbs that can be installed in your car, otherwise the rear cover cannot be tightly sealed, leading to water and dust ingress, and the bulbs will quickly fail or even affect the original car wiring and assembly. 3. Try to choose well-known brands because LED bulbs have high requirements for heat dissipation and lamp beads, and the market is flooded with brands of varying quality. Poor heat dissipation will cause the light to decay very quickly, and the lamp core will burn out soon. Choosing well-known brands ensures quality and performance.
