Modifying car headlights to xenon is illegal. Here are the specific details: Regulations: According to Article 16, Paragraph 1 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' it is explicitly stated that no unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization. Therefore, retrofitting xenon headlights after purchase constitutes an unauthorized alteration of the motor vehicle's structure or construction, which is considered illegal. Article 97 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' also stipulates: 'Illegally installed alarms or emblem lights shall be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.' Requirements: 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 and not exceed 120,000 CD. The color temperature must not exceed 6,000 K; otherwise, the annual inspection equipment cannot detect the light.

What are the effects of a car not using urea?

There are impacts. 1. Consequences of a car not using urea: When a car does not use urea, the SCR system ceases to function, preventing the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. This results in harmful emissions being released into the environment, and a reduction in engine power. 2. Long-term non-use of urea: Prolonged failure to use urea can lead to partial or complete system failure, which is expensive to repair. When the electronic control system detects no urea injection, it will forcibly restrict the engine's operation to minimize exhaust emissions.
