Is it illegal to tint taillights with black film?
1 Answers
Modifying car taillights with black film is not legal. Taillight modifications require filing and approval before passing the annual inspection. If the vehicle's taillights are modified without filing and the car is driven on the road directly after modification, traffic police may issue a warning and impose fines along with demerit points upon discovery. The following are the relevant regulations on car modifications: Regulation 1: Any modifications to motor vehicles must be conducted within the scope stipulated by the traffic management department, including modifications to the body color, engine, fuel type, and frame number, etc. Drivers must submit an application and obtain approval from the traffic management department before proceeding with the modifications. Regulation 2: No unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of motor vehicles without authorization. Regulation 3: Unauthorized modifications to the motor vehicle's chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tire rims, lights, body color painting, and external structure without the permission of the public security traffic management department, as well as any technical data of the motor vehicle that does not match the data announced by the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council, are considered modification behaviors.
