(a) to the left of the vehicle, is higher than 127 millimetres below; or
(b) to the right of the vehicle, is higher than,
the horizontal line through the centre of the headlamp from which it comes, at a distance of 7.6 metres ahead of the headlamp, when the vehicle is not loaded, and the high intensity portion of the lower or passing beam shall not rise higher than 1.07 metres above the level on which the vehicle stands at a distance of 22.9 metres ahead of the vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 596, s. 2 (2).

4.1 (1) A headlamp that emits a white light only may be coated or covered with a coloured material if the headlamp,
(a) is a halogen sealed beam lamp,
(i) that complies with,
(A) the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 49CFR571.108, as it reads on the day this section comes into force, including being marked by the manufacturer with the manufacturer’s name or trademark and the DOT symbol, or
(B) clause 108.1 (a) (iii) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations SOR/78-257 made under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada), as it reads on the day this section comes into force, including being marked by the manufacturer with the manufacturer’s name or trademark, the ECE symbol (a circle surrounding the letter E) and a designation commencing with the letter H, and
(ii) that was manufactured with a coating or covering of coloured material; or
(b) contains one or more replaceable halogen bulbs,
(i) that comply with,
(A) the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 49CFR571.108, as it reads on the day this section comes into force, including being marked by the manufacturer with the manufacturer’s name or trademark, the DOT symbol and the bulb type, or
(B) clauses 108.1 (a) (i) and (ii) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations SOR/78-257 made under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada), as it reads on the day this section comes into force, including being marked by the manufacturer with the manufacturer’s name or trademark, the ECE symbol (a circle surrounding the letter E) and a designation commencing with the letter H, and

(2) Sub-subclauses (1) (a) (i) (B) and (1) (b) (i) (B) apply with necessary modifications to a replacement halogen sealed beam lamp or a replacement halogen bulb as if it were a halogen sealed beam lamp or a halogen bulb connected to a headlamp assembly by the manufacturer of the motor vehicle. O. Reg. 213/03, s. 2.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if the halogen sealed beam lamp or replaceable halogen bulb,
(a) is connected to a headlamp assembly or installed on a motor vehicle for which it is not designed;
(b) is coated or covered with a coloured material after its manufacture; or
(c) is altered after its manufacture, other than as described in clause (b). O. Reg. 213/03, s. 2.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if the halogen sealed beam lamp or replaceable halogen bulb,
(a) is connected to a headlamp assembly or installed on a motor vehicle for which it is not designed;
(b) is coated or covered with a coloured material after its manufacture; or
(c) is altered after its manufacture, other than as described in clause (b). O. Reg. 213/03, s. 2.

another interpretation of subsection 3 is as follows:

"A motor vehicle must be equipped with the headlights that they were manufactured with."

there that sums it up in one sentence.

so technically the work truck grill led DOT approved lights are not really legal since the truck was not manufactured with them. they will still require halogen lights in the eyes of the law.

it is everyone's right to have a safe road to travel on. that's why these laws exsist. I only want that safe road that my kids, my wife, myself and everyone else deserves.

say what you want. believe what you want. be as ignorant as you want. your still wrong and it affects everyone else but you.

I'm done here.

You know what’s really f’ed up is thegawd was just making a sincere helpful point on adjusting lights after a suspension change and the guy lost his mind!

I have the halogen headlights and have no trouble seeing with them or seeing any vehicle with them. If you can't see light at night an eye exam is probably recommended.

Are we done yet lads ? You keep going at it like a couple of baby’s lol

We get into this situation quite frequently doing collision work. Customers don't understand why their insurance is only paying for one headlight when some of these goofy headlights can only be purchased in pairs nor do they understand why they need to sign a waiver of liability for installing a light that might not pass inspection.

if they dont turn then the headlights are garbage. if they are composite lense then they are probably yellow anyways. I have adjusted one that wouldnt move with a pocket full of washers. properly aimed headlights are extremely important.

I started with refinishing the lenses, then the 4 high mod, then in the fog I saw how screwed the one lense was and discover it was screwed but aimed with washers, then the low beam mod, then I finally got spyder glass lenses. which are kinda built cheap but are otherwise kick ass. sure they have flaws but they are easily overcome and they are glass.

hell I even use regular cheap halogen bulbs and they are bright as hell. but they are aimed perfectly and dont blind oncoming traffic.

this procedure is from the Haynes manual.

@Dirtymax88 on page 2 I posted the instructions on aiming headlights....

I’ve never heard of sign a waiver for some headlights lol what kind of goofy shop are you talking about?

It's really not difficult to understand. Working in a collision shop where an insurance company is paying the bill I'm bound to put a dot approved light in. If you as the customer wants me to do an aftermarket non approved headlight you are going to sign a waiver holding me/the shop harmless.

I will have this waiver in my hand when you show back up running your mouth like a lunatic about how your vehicle won't pass inspection and I won't be paying for, or putting in a second set of headlights at my own expense to cover someone else's stupidity. It will your problem. Kapisch?
