Because the market is very competitive and because every driver wants their car lights to be efficient, especially the dipped beam, many make changes that are not always legal and can lead to the withholding of the registration certificate. Halogen bulbs are less and less used in new cars. There is still this equipment from the factory, especially in the segment of cheaper cars. It is true that there are also models that come with high-performance lighting systems, but in today's edition of the ICars Romania vlog we are referring to those who have halogen and want to make a change. Two of the options at hand are changing to xenon or LED. Road legislation prohibits the installation of other lights or devices other than the approved ones on the vehicle. This means that any modification of the systems with which the car was equipped by the manufacturer (from the factory) requires obtaining an individual approval from RAR. In other words, strictly from a legal point of view, the fact of mounting other lighting systems/devices than those with which the car was equipped by the manufacturer and for which there is no individual homologation, is an act sanctioned by road legislation. The sanction provided by law is a fine together with the withholding of the registration certificate until the deficiencies are remedied. If the law forbids this modification regarding the change of halogen with xenon in headlights without a magnifying glass, the change of halogen with LED/smd bulb remains in discussion. It should be noted that there are not a few brands that have put the same type of car on sale with both halogen and xenon headlights. In other words, it will be quite difficult for a police officer who pulls you over to determine whether the car came with a certain equipment from the factory or not. The fact is that without low beam magnifiers there is no factory xenon. Some drivers, however, ignore this aspect and you have certainly met many in traffic who "blind" you with their headlights, without realizing that in addition to the discomfort generated by others, they can also be the generators of road accidents. Regarding the replacement of halogen bulbs with LED ones, this change can be made under certain conditions, respecting what we will detail in the vlog. If the bulbs are of quality (not the cheap "Chinese ones"), being sold commercially with approval, and the headlights are adjusted according to the standards, in this case the change can be made. We know, there are all kinds of controversies related to this change, but we can tell you with certainty that both RAR and ITP have no problems if the manufacturer's specifications in terms of intensity are respected and if the lighting system is adjusted correctly.
