What must be ensured about decorative lights on a vehicle during inspection?

During a vehicle inspection, it is crucial to ensure that decorative lights do not interfere with vehicle safety. This means that any lights added for aesthetic purposes must not distract the driver, confuse other road users, or replace or obscure required lighting equipment (like headlights or taillights). Safety is paramount, and any enhancements to the vehicle should not compromise its operational integrity or the safety of its occupants and others on the road.

While decorative lights can indeed come in various colors and may contribute positively to a vehicle's appearance, their main focus during an inspection must always align with safety regulations. Ensuring that decorative lighting is safe aligns with the broader goal of keeping all vehicles on the road compliant with safety standards.
