Traffic police will check if halogen lights are replaced with LED lights. According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter its registered structure, construction, or characteristics without authorization. Below is an introduction to halogen lights and LED lights: 1. Halogen lights: Halogen lights are incandescent bulbs filled with inert gas to extend the filament's lifespan. The light emission of halogen lights involves three physical processes: electrical energy—thermal energy—light energy, resulting in relatively high energy consumption. Halogen lights emit yellow light; they have strong penetration, are relatively inexpensive, and are easy to replace. However, their disadvantages include low brightness and a relatively short lifespan. 2. LED lights: LED lights can directly emit red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, orange, purple, white, and other colors of light. Also known as light-emitting diodes, LED lights can convert electrical energy directly into light energy with an energy conversion efficiency of up to 90%. White light is typically used in vehicles. LED lights offer high brightness, versatile design options, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, long lifespan, and compact size. However, their disadvantages include weaker penetration compared to halogen lights and complex technology leading to higher costs.
