Will traffic police check if halogen lights are replaced with LED lights?

Modifying headlights to LED is considered illegal modification and will be penalized by traffic police. The Traffic Safety Law explicitly prohibits replacing halogen headlights with LED or xenon headlights. If caught by traffic police on the road, a fine will be imposed. If you find your car lights not bright enough, you can choose to replace them with higher-wattage original factory lights (must be the same type of light source), and then file a record after replacement. Below is basic information about halogen headlights: 1. Halogen bulbs can operate at higher temperatures than ordinary incandescent bulbs, making them brighter and more efficient. 2. Halogen bulbs require quartz glass with a higher melting point. Since quartz glass cannot block ultraviolet rays, halogen bulbs usually need an additional ultraviolet filter. 3. If there is oil on the crystal glass of a halogen bulb, it will cause uneven temperature on the glass, reducing the bulb's lifespan. Therefore, when replacing halogen bulbs, avoid touching the glass with your hands.
