Can Blackened Taillights Pass the Annual Inspection?

[Leah]

Blackened taillights cannot pass the annual inspection. The annual vehicle inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates. If the vehicle's headlights are modified without approval from the traffic management department, the vehicle will fail the inspection. Therefore, blackened taillights without approval will affect the annual inspection. Blackened taillights are achieved by applying a film to the taillights. The steps for applying the film are as follows: 1. Use a spray bottle to lightly spray water on the taillight, just enough to form small droplets, then take out the film. After peeling off the film, also spray some water on it, just enough to form small droplets, and slowly place it on the taillight. 2. Use a tool to gradually smooth the film on the taillight. Stop when you reach a point where folds might appear, then use a heat gun on a low setting to evenly heat the area until the folds disappear. Continue smoothing the film with a squeegee.
