Is it permitted to install additional projectors on the vehicle to increase the intensity of the high-beam or long-range lights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to perform this installation, but it entails strict requirements. Altering the lighting system is considered a major modification (reforma de importancia). To be legal: Authorization (ITV): You must obtain the corresponding authorization after passing a technical inspection that certifies the modification. Intensity Limit: Regulations state that the sum of the intensity of all high-beam lights that can be switched on simultaneously must not exceed 225,000 candelas (or 100 luminosity points). Homologation: The projectors must be type-approved and mounted correctly (usually in pairs). Therefore, the answer is affirmative, provided there is authorization and light limits are not exceeded.
