JDM lights ok in Canada?
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

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.

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

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

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. |

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!
