Will modifying car lights to LED result in a fine?
1 Answers
Modifying car lights to LED may result in a fine. Here is the relevant information: 1. Regulations: According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," no unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization. Any unauthorized modifications to the chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tires and rims, lights, body color painting, or exterior structure of a motor vehicle without approval from 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 State Council's motor vehicle product authority, are considered modifications. 2. Penalties: Currently, China has not issued any policies regarding point deductions for modified car lights, and offenders are generally ordered to revert the modifications within a specified period. However, some regions enforce strict regulations on modified headlights, treating the modification of original headlights as illegal lighting alterations, resulting in a penalty of 3 points deducted from the driver's license and a fine of 200 yuan.
