Can Fog Lights Be Added to a Car?
2 Answers
From a legal perspective, private modifications to cars are not allowed. It is best to go to a 4S shop or a certified modification shop with a warranty to install fog lights. Choose original fog lights that match the car model, and pay attention to the switch, relay, fuse, and circuit safety issues with aftermarket lights during installation. The following are related introductions to legal and illegal modifications: 1. Legal modifications: color changes, car audio, rims, brake discs, calipers, air suspension, changing the exhaust sound, etc. 2. Illegal modifications: engine modifications, installation of mirror-like reflective sun films, and detachable license plates are not permitted.
I often do car modifications myself, and adding fog lights is completely feasible and very practical. Fog lights are mainly used to improve visibility in foggy or bad weather conditions, preventing collisions. You can buy ready-made fog light kits, with prices ranging from 200 to 800 yuan, depending on the brand and features, such as LED fog lights which offer better brightness and energy efficiency. During installation, you need to remove the front bumper and wire them into the car's original electrical system. Most cars have pre-drilled holes, but it's best to check the vehicle manual or seek help from a professional shop to avoid voiding the warranty. After installation, it can significantly enhance safety, especially in mountainous or fog-prone areas. Just make sure they're not too bright to avoid dazzling other drivers. Regular maintenance, like cleaning, is also necessary to ensure they function properly. Overall, spending a little money can make driving much safer.
