Ich habe andere Scheinwerfer in mein Auto eingebaut, aber irgendwo gelesen, dass die deutsche Polizei jeden anhält, dessen Auto in irgendeiner Form „getunt“ ist. Soll ich es wieder auf den Originalzustand umbauen?
Übrigens sind die Lichter gelb und nicht grün

I’m not sure about the headlights but the yellow number plate is definitely illegal /s
You should ask Tüv, Dekra etc. Even your air filter is probably illegal if not checked by them
Depends, if you want to register the car in germany, there needs to be a ABE or it has to be entered in the registration documents. If you just want to drive from the netherlands to germany for a visit than it should be ok.
As far as I know, if an EU registered car complies with the legal standards for the car in the EU country it’s registered in, the police in another EU country can not fine you if they don’t like it.
That said, EU rules stipulate that all pars on a car (new or aftermarket) need to have a [E number](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECE-Pr%C3%BCfzeichen) stamped onto the part. eg E1 for German manufacturers, E4 for Netherlands, E11 for UK, etc.
Are those headlights legal in the Netherlands? (or just tolerated without the necessary E number?)
And what can they do anyway? German plates are classified as legal documents by vertue of the state seal that the stick into them at registration. If the police finds the care unfit to use, they remove that seal and by doing so make it illegal to use on public roads. Dutch plates don’t have a seal like that. All they can do is complain and write it a fine that you can basically ignore as your car is actually EU road legal.
Also you are unable to sell and then register a car in Germany that no longer complies to EU homoligasation. (as in tuned with parts that don’t have an E number
PS: I’m not a lawyer and this is just what I know. Don’t sue me if you do end up having issues…
if you have a ABE for it there shoulb be no problem.
But let me tell you something, you dont do your engine a favor with the placement of the placemt of the airfilter. There the engine only sucks more hot air in which only reduces the performance
In Germany front lights have to be „white light“, or when originally yellow when the vehicle model got it’s first registration (like French Oldtimer)
If you modify the Light you need an ABE or it needs the personal(for this vehicle) permission from TÜV / DEKRA what will be written in the papers of the Vehicle.
If they have an ece homologation they are fine. I drive a heavily modified classic car and have never been stopped by police in a decade.
There might be police controls at the border though.
As far as I know, signed agreements between all EU-members state that an operating license issued in any member state is valid in all of them even if local authorities wouldn’t permit similar modifications. So, as long as all safety-related functions are working properly, your car is in compliance with Dutch legal requirements and you have the proper paperwork on you to prove it, German cops will have to swallow it even though they love to be a real pain in the ass of every German tuner.
