New regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years are included in the exemption range; for non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need to undergo on-site inspection twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Contents of the annual inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Inspect whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performances comply with the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Inspect whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition, whether there are any changes, and whether approval and alteration procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the seating capacity in the cab are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the rear tailgate of trailers) is printed with the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door for individually or jointly owned vehicles; the characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

Is it illegal to change the color of headlights?

Changing the color of headlights is not illegal, but it must comply with standards. Automobile modification regulations: Changing the brand, model, and engine type of a motor vehicle, except for engines that are permitted for optional installation by the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council, or altering the registered appearance and relevant technical data of a motor vehicle, unless otherwise stipulated by laws, regulations, and national mandatory standards. Modifying headlights is considered an act of altering the appearance of a vehicle and is difficult to pass during annual inspections. Precautions for modifying headlights: Do not change the color of taillights, as this is an extremely irresponsible practice for driving safety. When modifying headlights, avoid excessively adjusting the brightness, as this can cause unnecessary accidents during night driving. Also, avoid making the headlights too "flashy," as this can look awkward and may actually reduce the aesthetic appeal of the car.

What lights must be turned on when driving in foggy weather?

When driving in foggy weather, the following lights need to be turned on: 1. In heavy fog, you should turn on your position lights and headlights. If your vehicle is equipped with fog lights, both front and rear fog lights should be activated, as fog lights have strong penetration and can help other vehicles identify your car more easily. 2. In addition to turning on the fog lights, you should also activate the hazard warning lights (double flashing lights), as the flashing can serve as a warning. Just remember to switch them off when making turns. Below are some precautions regarding the use of fog lights: Fog lights are brighter than regular vehicle lights and have strong scattering effects, so they should not be turned on when not needed. Otherwise, they may interfere with the vision of other drivers, especially those of oncoming vehicles, and in severe cases, could lead to accidents.

Which cars use Bosch R6 spark plugs?

Bosch-produced spark plugs are generally used in German cars such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. Functions of Bosch spark plugs: As high-grade spark plugs for ordinary engines, Bosch spark plugs feature a fine iridium center electrode, achieving superior ignition performance and significantly improving sensitivity. Additionally, the electrode discharge part uses platinum, resulting in a longer service life than platinum spark plugs. Bosch spark plugs ensure stable sparking, enhancing engine operation stability and smoothness. Due to the hardness of iridium, they are more durable than ordinary spark plugs. Spark plug lifespan: The service life of spark plugs can exceed 80,000 kilometers, but their condition should be checked during every major maintenance. The most common issue with spark plugs during use is carbon buildup, which can be cleaned with carburetor cleaner before reinstalling them.
