Can halogen headlights be converted to LED headlights and pass the annual inspection?
1 Answers
Converting halogen headlights to LED headlights will not pass the annual inspection. The Traffic Safety Law clearly states that converting halogen headlights to LED or xenon headlights is not permitted. If the headlights are not bright enough, you can choose to replace them with higher-wattage original headlights (must be the same type of light source), and then file for the modification afterward. Below is a detailed introduction to the scope of illegal car modifications: Widebody modifications, installing oversized tires: Modifications to the intake and exhaust systems can affect the overall performance of the vehicle and are detrimental to driving safety, thus falling within the prohibited range of modifications. Modifying the chassis: Raising or lowering the chassis is considered a structural modification of the vehicle. Modifying headlights: Not only does it affect the visibility of pedestrians and other drivers, but it also fails the annual inspection. Engine modifications: Such as reprogramming the engine ECU, installing a strut bar in the engine compartment, adding a turbocharger or supercharger, etc. While these modifications can significantly improve performance, they greatly limit the engine's lifespan and may lead to premature engine failure.
