Correct answer
- ASí, para comprobar visualmente su estado y su capacidad de iluminación.Yes, to check visually their condition and how well they light.
Yes, it is a good idea to check a vehicle's headlights and rear lights after long exposure to high temperatures. Under the General Vehicle Regulations, lighting devices must work properly, as poor condition can compromise road safety. Heat can affect the materials of the lights, causing them to deteriorate or light less effectively, and lighting is essential for visibility and accident prevention.
