Will Replacing Xenon Lights Affect the Annual Inspection?

[McXavier]

Replacing xenon lights without adding lenses will affect the annual inspection. If xenon or LED bulbs are installed directly without lenses, bulbs with a color temperature exceeding 6000K will also fail the inspection. Permissible modifications according to the vehicle management office: According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" implemented on September 1st, installing roof racks, modifying the front grille, changing wheel rims, adding side steps, etc., are all considered legal modifications and do not require registration. Roof racks must not alter the vehicle's length or width, and their height should not exceed 300mm; front grille modifications must not change the vehicle's length or width; wheel rim modifications must maintain the original tire size; side steps must not extend more than 50mm beyond the body; bumper modifications must not alter the vehicle's length or width or create protruding parts. Illegal modifications include: Widening tires, modifying the intake and exhaust systems (structural changes); raising or lowering the chassis (structural changes); modifying headlights (structural changes); modifying the engine (performance changes); changing the vehicle's emblem—some people prefer to replace their vehicle's emblem with that of a well-known brand, which is illegal, may involve infringement, and will not pass the vehicle management office's inspection.
