00:01Motorists who install flashing decorative devil-eyes lights on their vehicles risk fines of up to RM2,000 or 6
00:09months jail, warns the Road Transport Department .
00:12Penang JPJ Director Zulkifli Ismail said the increasingly popular lights, particularly among lorry drivers, could distract motorists and endanger road
00:23users.
00:24He said non-compliant lighting modifications are prohibited under Rule 94 of the Motor Vehicles, Construction and Use Rules .
00:34Offenders face penalties under Section 119 subsection 1 of the Road Transport Act 1987, while JPJ may also issue a
00:43Prohibition of Use Notice under Section 59.
00:46JPJ will step up enforcement against vehicles with excessively bright, improperly aligned or modified lights that could dazzle other motorists.
00:56Zulkifli said Penang JPJ recorded 112 cases involving high-intensity discharge lights over the past 2 years, 96 last year,
01:07and 16 up to July this year.
01:10He cautioned that brighter headlights are not necessarily safer, as effectiveness depends on the light source, headlamp design, beam pattern,
01:19installation, and vehicle type.
01:21Replacing original halogen bulbs with aftermarket LED or HID bulbs is generally not permitted unless the headlamp components are designed
01:31or approved for them.
01:32Factory fitted LED or HID systems are allowed if the vehicle has undergone vehicle type approval and meets technical standards.
01:42JPJ will continue inspections, enforcement, and public awareness efforts to prevent unsafe lighting modifications.
