Can Modified Fog Lights Pass the Annual Vehicle Inspection?

[LeEverett]

Modified fog lights cannot pass the annual vehicle inspection. Modifying fog lights constitutes unauthorized alteration of the vehicle's appearance and registered specifications, making it ineligible for inspection. However, installing additional fog lights is permissible during the annual inspection, as vehicles without fog lights typically come with pre-installed mounting positions from the factory, and such installations are not considered illegal modifications. Relevant information about automotive fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. 2. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle, with higher luminous intensity than tail lights, designed to enhance visibility for other road users in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. 3. Front fog lights are installed slightly lower than the headlights and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather conditions.
