Fog light/ after market fitting law - Sri lanka

[Surath Aravinda]

Hi All,

I hope to set an after market led (amber color) fog light for my car (in the bumper below the headlight) , is there any restriction to do it under sri lankan law? 

please advise

technically any modification on yor car requires RMV approval and that includes additional lights. There is a circular that indicates what the specifications for the lights should be and that indicates the size, allowed position (there was something about the level, above/below bumper, how much it can stick over above the bonnet and outside of the bonnet, not blocking headlights and turn signals, etc..) , color (basically white for drive and spot lights or yellow for fog lights...you can fix other colors, except emergency vehicle color lights but they along with spot lights cannot be turned on when travelling on public roads).

Basically, the regulations are not enforced nor are they checked. They get checked only when the police constables need to meet up their monthly quotas. For the most part, if you fit fog lights that are of similar spec to what the manufacturer would have fitted AND in locations the manufacturer would have fitted them on for road going versions of their cars...you will be safe.
