Is it illegal to replace halogen lights with xenon lights?

[JaxonMarie]

Replacing halogen lights with xenon lights is an illegal act. More information about modifying car lights is as follows: 1. Legal basis: Article 16 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that 'No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization.' Article 97 also stipulates: 'Illegal installation of alarms or marking lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan shall be imposed.' 2. Introduction: Halogen lights emit light by heating the filament to an incandescent state, while xenon lights rely on high-voltage arc discharge for illumination. Compared to ordinary halogen car lights, xenon lights have the advantages of lower energy consumption, higher brightness, longer range, and longer lifespan. The disadvantages of xenon lights are poor light focusing (which can be solved by equipping lenses), they can be too bright and affect the vision of oncoming drivers, and they have weak penetration power and a delay effect.
