1 Answers
Retrofitting xenon headlights may result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan. Below are the specific details: 1. Legal Basis: No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. According to Article 97 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': 'Illegal installation of alarms or emblem lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine of 200 to 2,000 yuan will be imposed.' 2. Unauthorized modification of vehicle parameters constitutes illegal retrofitting: Modifications such as altering vehicle tires, rims, adding spoilers, lights, exhaust pipes, etc., are all considered illegal retrofitting. These must be restored to their original state to pass inspection, and penalties such as fines and license suspension may also be imposed. 3. Headlight modifications should adhere to the principle of civilized retrofitting: Modified headlights should not cause discomfort to pedestrians or other drivers, which could lead to misjudgments.
