Do I need to go to the vehicle management office to install fog lights on a base model car?

No, installing fog lights on a car is considered a safety device, so adding fog lights to a base model car is not illegal. Since light can increase visibility distance, especially the strong penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, they can enhance the visibility of the driver and surrounding traffic participants in low-visibility conditions such as fog, where the driver's line of sight is limited. This allows oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. Therefore, adding fog lights to a base model car is legal and beneficial for safety. Precautions for installing fog lights: Professional installation: Fog lights must be installed by professional technicians at a reputable auto repair shop. Do not attempt to install them yourself, as incorrect wiring can lead to other issues. Choosing fog lights: The purpose of installing fog lights is to enhance safety, not for aesthetic appeal. Some owners install blue front fog lights, which may result in being stopped by traffic police. Modification registration: After installing fog lights, the vehicle's appearance must be promptly registered. Failure to do so may cause discrepancies during annual inspections when the vehicle does not match the photos on record. Registering the modification can help avoid unnecessary complications.
