If the traffic police discover that the brake light has been modified to flash, they will intervene. Below is relevant information about modifying brake lights to flash: 1. Unauthorized vehicle modification is illegal unless there is a relevant application. If a flashing light is installed without permission, the traffic police have the authority to impose penalties. Unauthorized alteration of vehicle components may result in an order to remove the modification within a specified time. Repeated violations may lead to forced removal and fines. Flashing brake lights are considered illegal modifications and pose significant safety hazards. According to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety," brake lights are explicitly prohibited from flashing, and vehicle owners are not allowed to modify external lighting and signal devices. 2. Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter its registered structure, construction, or characteristics without authorization. Article 97 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" states that illegally installed alarms or marking lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security authorities.
