The rear fog lamps can only be switched on when the front headlamps are switched on The front fog lamps can only be switched on if the front and rear position lamps are switched on.The distance between the rear fog lamp and each stop lamp must be more than 100mm For a single rear fog lamp, it must be installed at the centre or right side of the vehicle. The rear fog lamp must cast a red light and be located between 250mm and 1,000mm above the road surface. The rear fog lamp can be a single unit or a matched pair.
They should also be located below the headlights and at least 250mm above the road surface They must be installed not more than 400mm from the sides of the vehicle and at least 600mm apart from each other. The front fog lamps must only cast a white or yellow light.For example, if the fog lamps meet United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations, they will bear markings 'B' and 'F' for the front and rear fog lamps respectively The fog lamps should bear approved markings to show that they meet international standards, such as those adopted in the European Union, Japan and the United States.Modifications that do not need LTA’s approvalįog lamps must meet the requirements below, or be covered at all times when the vehicle is used in Singapore. See the details for different types of modifications below. Modifications that do not need LTA’s approvalĪll modifications must be installed by qualified personnel according to the vehicle and product manufacturer’s recommendations.Vehicle modifications are classified into 3 types: If you spot an illegal modification on a vehicle, you can report it via digital services.īefore modifying your vehicle, check if you need to obtain LTA’s approval. Assessment services are available at LTA-Authorised Inspection Centres (AIC). You can check with your motor insurer before making any modifications.īefore buying a used or second-hand vehicle, you are advised to check that any modifications made to the vehicle are allowed. If you fail to do so, your claims may be declined in the event of an accident, and the motor insurance policy considered void. If you have modified your vehicle, the General Insurance Association of Singapore advises you to notify your motor insurer. When you modify your vehicle, it may affect your insurance coverage. LTA requires all newly registered vehicles (except motorcycles) fitted with HID and LED headlamps to be equipped with a headlamp levelling device as recommended by vehicle manufacturers.
To reduce glare, vehicle manufacturers have incorporated headlamp levelling devices that can adjust the angle of the headlamp based on road and driving conditions. With the increasing trend in the use of HID and LED headlamps, there has been feedback from motorists that such headlamps are brighter and cause glare. Like other headlamps, LED headlamps must meet international standards and be factory-fitted by vehicle manufacturers, to ensure that they are properly aligned and operate safely. This makes the LED light physically larger than a halogen bulb, so there may be compatibility issues when installing LED lights into headlamp housings designed for halogen bulbs. LED headlamps require cooling systems such as heat sinks or fans to keep cool. LED headlamps produce light that is close to the colour of daylight, providing clearer visibility at night. LED headlamp bulbs require less energy, and have a longer lifespan compared to halogen and HID headlamps.
In recent years, vehicle manufacturers have started to introduce LED technology to headlamps. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor light sources that produce light when an electric current flow through them.
