After being caught by traffic police for modified lighting, it is mandatory to undergo approval and registration at the vehicle management office, along with relevant lighting inspections. Modified lights that do not meet the standards will not be approved. According to Article 97 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Illegally installed alarms or emblem lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, with a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. Here are some precautions regarding car modifications: Car modifications must strictly comply with national laws and regulations, which clearly outline the requirements for modifying the appearance and performance parts of a vehicle. Generally, car owners can replace front and rear bumpers and grilles, but the size of these parts must not exceed the original dimensions. If a color change is desired, except for certain prohibited colors, it is usually acceptable as long as it is registered with the vehicle management office.
