Do I need to file a record with the vehicle management office for modifying headlights?

Modifying headlights requires filing a record with the vehicle management office. If the modification is not approved by the traffic management department in advance, the vehicle with modified headlights cannot be driven on the road. Relevant regulations: According to the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," for vehicles that pass the annual inspection normally, any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, as well as replacement of the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for registration of changes. Installing spoilers, extensive body kits, or modifying exhaust pipes are, in principle, not allowed. Requirements for light modification: The low beam must not be less than 1,050 lumens, and the high beam must not be less than 1,450 lumens. The light intensity of a moving vehicle must not be less than 15,000 CD or higher than 120,000 CD. The color temperature must not exceed 6,000 K; otherwise, the annual inspection equipment cannot detect the lights.
