Are you allowed to replace a halogen bulb in any headlight with a xenon lamp?
Description
Point 2.3.3. of Chapter II of the Detailed training programme for persons applying for entitlement to drive vehicles in category B of the driving licence, Annex No. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for entitlement to drive vehicles, instructors and lecturers (item 1019).
Explanation
Correct answer: No, because it may lead to dazzling other drivers.
No, you are not allowed to. Xenon lamps can only be used in headlamps that are factory-adapted for them and have the appropriate type approval. Installing so-called 'xenon kits' in standard halogen headlamps is illegal, as it dazzles other drivers and does not comply with the technical requirements, which is punishable by a fine and confiscation of the registration certificate.
