Can LED headlight modifications pass the annual inspection?
1 Answers
Whether modified LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the color temperature, brightness, and beam angle of the modified headlights meet the national safety requirements, they can pass the inspection. There are two main aspects to check: Whether the brightness meets the requirements, meaning it must be at least 1400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is compliant, as long as the high and low beams are properly aligned. Essentially, as long as the modified LED headlights do not compromise driving safety, they can pass the annual inspection. Relevant regulations for vehicle annual inspections: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further use. Vehicles that do not undergo the inspection without valid reasons or fail the inspection are not allowed on the road or to be transferred. Vehicles that meet the scrapping criteria or exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their records deleted, and they will be scrapped.
