Can Modified Headlights Pass the Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
Modified car headlights can pass the annual inspection, but they must be equipped with lenses. If the car's headlights are directly fitted with bare xenon or LED bulbs, or bulbs with a color temperature exceeding 6000K, they will not pass the inspection. The annual vehicle inspection is primarily based on the National Standard GB7258-2012 "Safety Technical Specifications for Motor Vehicles Operating on Roads" of the People's Republic of China. The main inspection items include appearance, exhaust emissions, lighting, and braking (including axle weight). Below is an introduction to the annual inspection requirements for different types of vehicles: Passenger vehicles for commercial use: Inspected once a year within 5 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once a year within 10 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Motorcycles: Inspected once every 2 years within 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Inspected once a year. Commercial motor vehicles that pass the safety inspection within the specified period do not need to undergo repeated inspections. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: Cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) at the vehicle management office before proceeding with the transaction.
