Is it OK to modify LED lights in a car, and is it illegal to modify LED headlights in a car?

Hello, it depends on your car model. If your car originally had LED lights and wanted to increase the brightness, you can choose LED lights with better performance to upgrade. But if your car is a halogen lamp, then it depends on whether it can be matched, generally the probability of this perfect match is relatively small, some car owners do not know, because they only care about the brightness is high, but in fact, the single LED lamp is prone to astigmatism, because the luminous principle of the halogen lamp is different from the LED lamp, tough matching, the focus is not at all, the focus deviates from the light is scattered, so it is very unfriendly to the opposite car owner.

The correct way to change the lamp is to change the xenon lamp bifocal lens, and the three major accessories of the bulb, bifocal lens and ballast need to be deeply matched to achieve the best effect. Although the modification process is more complicated, the effect after the modification is at least 3-5 times higher than the lighting effect of the original car, and there is no astigmatism. It's good for others and for the owner himself.

Finally, it is also a reminder that changing the lights is not for coolness, but for being safer, here, Appa calls on the majority of car owners to drive in a civilized manner and refuse to abuse the high beams.

Okay, you can try to change the rice stone LED, this light is very good, not many people use this light.

There are three kinds of car headlights used by people now, which are arranged in the order in which the headlights came out: the first is the original car halogen bulb, the second is the xenon lamp, and the third is the LED headlight.

The original car halogen bulb is the bulb that the car is equipped with when it leaves the factory, which is generally 55W, which can be said to be the first generation of car headlights, xenon lamps are the second generation products, and LED headlights are the third generation products, that is, the latest generation of products.

To evaluate whether the product is good or not, we must first start with the luminous principle of each generation of headlights:

The luminous principle of the halogen bulb of the first generation of headlights is: after it is turned on, the electric energy heats the tungsten filament to an incandescent state to emit light, and the electrical energy is converted into heat energy, and then converted into light energy. Edison, who invented the light bulb, did countless experiments to find "tungsten filament" as a suitable filament, which was the first generation of products, with the advantages of low cost and simple production, and the disadvantages of high temperature, poor durability and low brightness.

The luminous principle of the second-generation headlight xenon lamp is: use a ballast to increase the original vehicle voltage of the headlamp from 12V to 23000V, and then excite the arc to emit light, which is also converted into heat energy and then converted into light energy. The advantage is that the brightness is high, the brightness is 4-6 times that of the original car halogen bulb, the disadvantage is that the temperature is extremely high, up to 300-400 degrees, the lamp holder is baked, and the lampshade is baked yellow from time to time, very, very power consumption, poor stability, slow start, delay, and now people don't use it.

The luminous principle of the third-generation headlamp LED headlight is: after the power is on, the LED chip directly emits light (excitation chemical energy directly emits light), and the electrical energy is directly converted into photoelectric through the LED chip, skipping the step of converting into thermal energy, therefore, the LED light source is also called the cold light source! The invention of LED headlights is inspired by the glowworm, a glowworm shines on its own at night, without electricity or burning oil, do you say save electricity?

Therefore, LED technology is called the third lighting revolution, and in the future, our household lamps will also popularize LED.

The advantages of LED headlights are: high brightness, the brightness is 4-6 times that of the original car halogen bulb; The temperature is very low, generally 50-70 degrees, because the temperature is low, the performance is very stable, there is almost no light decay, instant start-up, no delay. Moreover, the paving is very uniform, just like the "5D car LED bulb C6F" that often has riders who get me here to help install it during this time, the paving is very uniform, and it will not be like the original car halogen bulb or xenon lamp piece by piece, sitting in the cab, looking very comfortable, not easy to visual fatigue.

Through the above analysis of the luminous principle of the three headlights, I think riders should know which light is better. We specialize in repairing cars, often have car friends to bring lights to me to ask me to help install, 99% of people are equipped with LED headlights, almost no one is equipped with xenon lamps.

Generally speaking, as long as the color temperature, brightness, and illumination angle of the headlights meet the requirements, there is no astigmatism, and there are no factors that are not conducive to driving safety. It also depends on your local policy.

According to Article 97 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the wattage of headlights cannot exceed 60W. At the same time, according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the unauthorized modification of headlights violates the principle of vehicle safety, and a fine of 200 yuan and 3 points will be deducted. If the halogen lamps of the original car are replaced with xenon lamps, a fine of 500 yuan to 2,000 yuan will be imposed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law.

Precautions for retrofitting headlights.

Some car owners do not modify the color of the lights, but modify them through a more secret brightness, thinking that the traffic police will not investigate and find it. Generally, xenon lamps are replaced, and the brightness of this xenon lamp is three times that of general halogen lamps, and the light color is close to the color of the noon sun, which is also a change in the registered structure, structure or characteristics of the motor vehicle, so it is also illegal.

The change of lights follows the principle of "civilized modification", and the traffic accidents caused by lighting problems continue to rise every year. Therefore, don't just want to change the question of whether it is illegal to change the headlights, or do not modify the lights for driving safety.

Theoretically, modifications are illegal.

It mainly depends on whether the driving license can be distinguished, in addition, if there is no accident and it is not checked, as long as it is not equipped with blue flashing lights and the like, it will generally not be checked. Except for the annual examination.

If the same model, the original factory has already installed xenon LED running lights, generally according to the same modification, will not be checked on the road. However, the annual examination is excluded.

It depends on how to change, and the general lamp modification can not pass the annual inspection, mainly for the following reasons.

1. Unqualified modification.

During the annual inspection, the appearance of the vehicle must be the same as that on the driving license, and the modification that changes too much cannot pass the annual inspection. However, the modification of the headlight is only the modification of the inside of the headlight, and as long as the light irradiation and other regulations are met, it will not be affected.

Second, the brightness of the light.

As we all know, everything has a life cycle, and the lights are no exception, which will age normally, resulting in dim lights, and some of the lights used are of good quality and lack of lights. Whatever the reason, as long as the light brightness is insufficient, it will not pass the annual inspection.

The annual brightness of the headlights stipulates that the low beam shall not be less than 1050 lumens, and the high beam shall not be less than 1450 lumens. However, if the brightness of the lamp bulb used is too high, it may also lead to the failure of the annual inspection.

This depends on the specific transformation situation, including the concentrating and brightness, if it exceeds the annual inspection standard, it is illegal to modify.

There are four key ways to modify car headlights, namely1. Replace high-power halogen lamps; the second is to install headlight brighteners; 3. Replace xenon bulbs; Fourth, replace the headlight assembly.

Car headlights can be modified in the following ways:

1.Replace high-power halogen lamps;

Replace the original 55W halogen bulb with a 100W high-power halogen bulb and do not make any changes elsewhere. This is the easiest and most convenient way to retrofit.

2.installation of headlight brighteners;

If the headlight brightness enhancement line is installed in the headlights and battery of the car, the voltage loss of the line will be reduced. It is expected that the voltage of the headlamp will be basically the same as that of the battery, and the brightness will be obtained, which will meet the objective requirements of the original halogen lamp.

3.Replace xenon bulbs;

Lensless halogen lamp: directly replace with the corresponding model of xenon lamp, but due to the use of the original halogen lamp reflector, the lighting can not be used reasonably, the lighting effect is limited, and other travelers must have.

Halogen lamp or xenon lamp with lens: The effect will be quite clear after replacing the xenon lamp, because the original car already has a lens, and the spotlight will be better. How much the specific effect can be improved depends on the quality of the bulb used and the lens of the original car, which meets the requirements of objective conditions.

The budget is not large, and the requirements for automotive lighting are not very high.

4.Replace the headlamp assembly.

Simply replacing the bulb is not very effective and carries the necessary risks, so the whole retrofit scheme is feasible. Some manufacturers have produced assemblies for some popular models, including xenon headlight assemblies and LE D headlight assemblies, which can directly replace the original car assembly. There are a variety of decorative lights to choose from in the package, which is easy and cool to install, and the lighting effect is greatly improved.

However, the quality of accessories, bulbs, stabilizers, lenses, decorative lights, etc. in the assembly basically accounts for the majority, which is suitable for small partners who do not want to destroy the original car assembly, have a high budget, and are not picky about the effect.

The car can replace the light bulb but is not allowed to be modified, and the appearance of the car may be modified without permission, which may cause the car to be unable to be reviewed and will be punished by the traffic police.

Is it legal to modify headlights in a car?

5 minutes. In the eyes of the traffic management department and the vehicle management office, as long as the modification is illegal, it is also said that the color temperature of the headlight modified hernia lamp does not exceed 4300K, it is legal, but it is also illegal to be seen by the traffic police, and the annual review of the vehicle management office is the same, in fact, for the automotive lighting modification industry, China is expressly prohibited, but there are also many people who change, which mainly depends on what city has nothing to do with you. If you have a hard enough relationship, no matter what your car changes into, even if the traffic police detain your car, you can also let them send you back, and the current national policies and regulations on the modification industry are very vague, so the modification industry is also between illegal and legal, so if you want to change the car uniquely, it is still the relationship hehe, just like now the Shenzhen traffic police as long as they see the modified car will be directly deducted, or at that time plugged a little tea fee should not be seen, but for some people who drive supercars, The traffic police vehicles are different, as if they don't care, the road in front of our store at night, every night in the middle of the night is very overrun in drag racing, the sound of exhaust can be heard a kilometer away, never seen traffic police, what ambiguity between this is not what we can know.

Is it legal to modify headlights in a car?

This question is up to me, it takes a little time to type, so please be patient.

In the eyes of the traffic management department and the vehicle management office, as long as the modification is illegal, it is also said that the color temperature of the headlight modified hernia lamp does not exceed 4300K, it is legal, but it is also illegal to be seen by the traffic police, and the annual review of the vehicle management office is the same, in fact, for the automotive lighting modification industry, China is expressly prohibited, but there are also many people who change, which mainly depends on what city has nothing to do with you. If you have a hard enough relationship, no matter what your car changes into, even if the traffic police detain your car, you can also let them send you back, and the current national policies and regulations on the modification industry are very vague, so the modification industry is also between illegal and legal, so if you want to change the car uniquely, it is still the relationship hehe, just like now the Shenzhen traffic police as long as they see the modified car will be directly deducted, or at that time plugged a little tea fee should not be seen, but for some people who drive supercars, The traffic police vehicles are different, as if they don't care, the road in front of our store at night, every night in the middle of the night is very overrun in drag racing, the sound of exhaust can be heard a kilometer away, never seen traffic police, what ambiguity between this is not what we can know.

It can be modified, but the modified headlamp must comply with the regulations:

1. There are many regulations and restrictions on automobile headlamps in foreign countries, especially xenon headlamps, which have clear regulations on their color temperature, brightness and angle;

2. Although the current domestic legislation in this area is not complete, it is also necessary to choose to modify HID in line with foreign safety regulations, because these regulations are formulated according to the bottom line requirements of safe driving, and you can't joke with your own life;

3. In addition, some cities in China also have local regulations that restrict car headlights, so it is best to try to understand them before changing the car.

Car lights can be modified, but you can't modify its shape, you can only modify the brightness of the bulb in it, you can upgrade the halogen to xenon headlights, and you can also upgrade xenon headlights to LED headlights.

There are generally two kinds of lamp changes, one is to install decorative lamps such as angel eyes and demon eyes, which are mainly for coolness. The second is to upgrade the headlights to improve the illumination, such as changing the xenon headlight bifocal lens or changing the LED headlights. The first is sad because the cosmetic changes are too large and it is a violation.

The second depends on the specific situation, first of all, your lighting change results must meet the following requirements:

1. Astigmatism is prohibited. The best solution to change the light is to add a bifocal lens, the modified light will not be dazzling or astigmatism, and will not affect the safe driving of others;

2. The height of each car is different, so adjust the lighting angle to avoid affecting the safe driving of others;

3. The low beam is not less than 1050 lumens, and the high beam is not less than 1450 lumens;

4. The light intensity of the driving vehicle is not less than 15000cd and not higher than 120000cd;

5. The color temperature is required to be no higher than 6000K, otherwise the annual inspection equipment will not be able to detect the light.

At present, the owners of the correct lights here in Apa have not been unable to pass in most cities across the country. However, there are differences in the annual review requirements of the traffic police departments in various places, and I suggest that you should ask about the local annual inspection situation before modifying.
