Is It Illegal to Install Fog Lights on a Base Model Car?
1 Answers
Installing fog lights on a car is considered a safety feature, so it is not illegal to add fog lights to a base model car. Since light can increase visibility distance, especially the strong light penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, they can improve the visibility for drivers and other traffic participants in low-visibility conditions such as fog, where driver sight is limited. Therefore, installing fog lights on a base model car is legal and beneficial for safety. Considerations for installing fog lights: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. Modification registration: After installing fog lights, the vehicle's appearance must be promptly registered. Failure to do so may cause discrepancies during annual inspections, and registration can help avoid unnecessary complications.
