JDM lights ok in Canada? - Toyota Yaris Forums

mojoyaris · 03-16-2007, 11:59 PM

I heard that JDM spec cars like the Skyline couldn't use the headlights and tailights that come from Japan. A new recent bylaw in BC prohibits this?
If this is the case, it means I couldn't install JDM lights on my Yaris?

not legally, same as in the US, it is because of the lack of reflectors

Nutzoids · 03-17-2007, 01:06 AM

I'll never understand that Rule...

Where are the Reflectors on this car?

Black Yaris · 03-17-2007, 01:09 AM

Yeah, but there not on the Break Lights...

as long as you have any kind of reflectors on the side of the car...

there's a reason why the echo hatchback has extra side markers on the front bumper in canada...

They don't have to be part of the taillights, they just need to be visible from the side of the car.

There is no law saying they have to be part of the lamp themselves, to make JDM lamps legal you would have to add reflectors to the rear and sides of your vehicle, and would look kinda tacky

The JDM RS has reflector built-in the bumper. But i don't think it fits... right?

uncleyaris · 04-03-2007, 10:29 PM

I think the cops have bigger worries on their hands!

brickhardmeat · 04-03-2007, 10:32 PM

um, no I really don't think they do, they eat this kind of shit up, they love pulling people over for tint and lighting and mufflers and stereo noise and etc

brickhardmeat · 04-03-2007, 10:33 PM

also have to be careful where you go for an inspection but you just have to find the right place

the_boss · 04-09-2007, 01:55 PM

I really like the ETC part....got pulled over because I didn't have my stickers on my plate....I tried to explain to the cops that I bought the car only 2 days ago.... and the stickers was in the mail

anyway gotta luv cops i guess

IllusionX · 04-10-2007, 12:35 AM

quebec plates are stickerless :)

the_boss · 04-10-2007, 06:22 AM

And you only have 1 liscence plate too. We have to HAVE the front one or we get a ticket

IllusionX · 04-10-2007, 09:33 AM

well, i see that cops stop in FRONT when they pull someone over in ONT...

in Qc, they stop behind. i think it's safer behind, at least, for the citizen. and the cops always park slightly unaligned. so if anyone hit the cop car, it's not going to hurt the citizen that much.

the_boss · 04-10-2007, 10:01 AM

they do the same here park behind but we have to keep the front one

that's too bad because some bodykit doesnt have a place for the front plate....weird that some old freaking ugly cars dosent have the front one and neve rget pulled over.....

uncleyaris · 04-18-2007, 07:31 PM

Don't forget, How many JDM tails around anyways? I don't think cops know what tails are OEM, or JDM, or even there needs to be reflectors!
