[b]In societies, where rules are obeyed & infractions are punished, it's an offence to fit a non-recommended headlamp bulbs let alone additional lights.

There's a recommended beam level accepted in Nigeria and VIO could have your car impounded for this. For instance, your vehicle may not pass the recent yearly vehicle inspection with additional light fitment. This practice increases the risk of accidents & poses greater danger to other motorists.

On the contrary, I haven't seen anyone arrested because of such infractions. A typical reference is the luxurious bus drivers who ply our highways at night with very high beams that affect other road users.

I've seen road safety fine a station wagon for having such lights. Mind you this was in broad daylight and they were not on. I guess its illegal. But the truth is those lights are hazard on the road

Aside that Nigerian drivers generally have VERY POOR attitude when it comes to using thier high beams. I wont be surprised if it also contributes to accidents. very few, if any are aware that you SHOULDN'T use high beam when esp on a two way road.

FRSC warns against extra headlights.

By Usman A. Bello, Lokoja | Publish Date: Nov 25 2014 4:00AM



The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has directed drivers with extra headlights on their vehicles to immediately remove them or face prosecution.


Kogi State FRSC Sector Commander, Mr Godwin Omiko, who gave the directive yesterday in Lokoja, said the command will not take it lightly with any motorist who ignores the order.


He lamented that use of extra lights at night was largely responsible for accidents as they obstruct the vision of motorists approaching from the opposite direction. He also directed motorists plying roads in the state to start using reflective tapes, adding that the plates aid visibility of drivers at night.

Omiko said the ember months campaign which was recently flagged off by the commission was yielding results and that it would be sustained up till the middle of January next year.

The sector commander said accidents have reduced by about 15 per cent.
