Does Modifying Lights Affect Vehicle Registration?
1 Answers
Modifying the headlights of a new car before registration can affect the registration process. It is advisable to make such modifications after the vehicle has been registered. Current laws do not explicitly prohibit the modification of vehicle lights, but any modifications must comply with relevant regulations. Changes to the vehicle's appearance: This means that any changes to the vehicle's appearance must be reported to the authorities. For instance, extensive blackout modifications require filing with the vehicle management office. If significant differences from the original appearance are found, the vehicle may fail the annual inspection. Relevant regulations: According to the current vehicle registration rules, if an owner wishes to change the color, model, power, purpose, or body design of the vehicle, or modify the chassis, body, or engine, they must apply to the Department of Transportation for a change of registration. Adding spoilers, large belt designs, or altering exhaust pipes are generally not permitted.
