Adding fog lights to a base model car is not illegal, as there are currently no laws prohibiting the installation of fog lights. However, modifications must not alter the vehicle's appearance, structure, framework, or performance, otherwise the vehicle will fail inspection. Relevant information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights, typically installed at the front and rear of a car, are used to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather. 2. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in conditions of reduced visibility due to fog or rain, so the light source must have strong penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while xenon fog lights are a more advanced option.

What to Do When a Car Fogs Up on Rainy Days?

The solutions for car fogging on rainy days are: 1. Wipe it clean with a towel; 2. Turn on the car's heater to clear the fog; 3. Leave a gap in the window to remove fog; 4. Use car glass anti-fog spray. The reason for car fogging on rainy days is: there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, with the interior temperature being higher than the exterior, causing water molecules in the air inside the car to condense into fog when they encounter the cold. Precautions for driving on rainy days or water-covered roads: 1. Be extra cautious when the water depth exceeds the front bumper; 2. Do not continue driving if the water depth exceeds the engine hood; 3. Avoid driving at high speed through ditches or puddles; 4. Maintain a sufficient safe distance.

Can a vehicle be driven on the road without annual inspection?

Vehicles without annual inspection cannot be driven on the road. Annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. The items for annual inspection include: 1. Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Inspect whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether they need to be replaced.

Can a Statically Flooded Car with a Dry Engine Still Be Used?

It can still be used. When parked statically, some cars have lower engine air intakes, allowing water to enter the intake tract. In such cases, since the vehicle was not running, simply removing the damp air filter and replacing it is sufficient. Of course, to save money, drying it out is also an option. Related information: 1. Overview: A flooded car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's underbody components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits and fires. 2. Precautions: "Flooded cars" can be repaired to some extent, but even after repairs, serious hidden dangers remain. The longer the immersion time, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions. This is similar to a watch falling into water—even if it is disassembled and dried, the watch may still malfunction and cannot be completely repaired.
