Can Halogen Lights Modified to Xenon Lights Pass Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
Halogen lights modified to xenon lights can pass annual inspection. Currently, there are no explicit legal provisions in China that classify modifying xenon headlights as illegal. However, if the modified xenon headlights have a luminous intensity exceeding the stipulated value, it constitutes an illegal modification. Below is relevant information about xenon lights: 1. Xenon lights, also known as High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps, offer advantages such as safety, energy efficiency, high brightness, long lifespan, and easy installation. Many high-end vehicles come equipped with xenon lights as standard, making them a popular choice for headlight modifications. 2. When installing xenon lights, ensure the color temperature does not exceed 6000K. The standard color temperature for factory-installed xenon lights is 4300K, which provides optimal light penetration without causing glare to oncoming traffic. 3. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, unauthorized installation of xenon headlights is considered a violation of vehicle safety principles, punishable by fines and a 3-point penalty on the driver's license.
