Can I pass the annual inspection after installing additional lights?
1 Answers
Installing additional lights without major modifications can pass the annual inspection. Chinese regulations classify the annual inspection of vehicle lights into the following categories: 1. First is the appearance inspection, where the inspector visually checks the vehicle for any unauthorized modifications. As long as the modifications are not excessive, they are generally acceptable. 2. Next is the instrument inspection on the testing line, which mainly focuses on the following aspects of the lights: 1. The color temperature must not exceed 6000K. The testing equipment can only detect light sources with a color temperature below 6000K. 2. Light scattering: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that "vehicle lighting must not affect other road users." 3. Insufficient brightness: During the inspection, the requirement for low-beam headlights is that they must not be less than 1200 lumens. There is only a lower limit for brightness, not an upper limit. This means no matter how bright your headlights are, as long as they do not scatter, it is acceptable.
