PlanetSafe and SafetyMax DRL conversion kits and Canada
 

Some one from Canada tends to ask: So, are Amber turn signal DRLs legal in Canada?

Below is a chart that shows what is legal in Canada, and where in the code it is referenced: DRL type Qualifier Where Referenced in Canadian code link above AMBER TS DRLs Yellow or Amber; Color Section 45 Turn Signal DRLs Turn signals, specifically Sections 47.2 & 56 Driving/Fog Lights as DRLs White or Yellow OK Sections 47.1 & 52 Low Beam Headlights, Full Power  Must have automatic interior indicator (called tell-tale) for night acknowledgement Section 58; 58b HID Headlight technology, Full Power Gaseous-discharge type, plus auto indicator (called tell-tale) Sections 53b;  58b & c

 
Not only are Amber DRLs legal in Canada - in fact, amber turn signal DRLs were invented in/for Canada! This type of DRL lighting first came in existence on motor vehicles in the early 1990's, and the first motor vehicles to have this feature were Canadian Dodge/Chrysler minivans (Caravan and Town & Country models), like the one below. [Note the front tag: this van is from the province of Ontario, where they require front & rear plates.]

Furthermore, the ACAA PlanetSafe universal AMBER turn signal-based DRL modules and conversion kits, and our white light kits, comply with Canadian motor vehicle code for daytime running light products.

Ordering DRLs from Canada


Unfortunately, our catalog page simply CANNOT handle Canadian alpha & numeric postal codes (e.g. A1B2C3) when ordering over the web. Using these Canadian Postal Codes in the US based ZIP Code field cancels or causes the transaction to fail.

Canadians: Steps needed to order DRL products using our on-line catalog page:

1) Go to shopping cart to select your product. To make it easy for our Canadian customers we have bundled our products with USPS shipping.  This bundling saves you brokerage fees. Choose the BUNDLED PRODUCT to purchase and proceed to checkout.

2) Type in your information, all the way down but stopping at Zip Code: We show an example below [we will use Mountie D. DoRight as our example], with the fictitious data entered into our check out page highlighted in bold blue text:

First Name: Dudley

Last Name: DoRight

Address: 123 Main Street

City: Vancouver

State: BC (for British Columbia, of course)

3) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. When you come to Zip Code, you must type in a US zip code [a non-Canadian mail code] that is not in our home state of Georgia, or simply type 99999. When following this method, your actual Canadian mail code must be typed into the "Special Instructions" box at the bottom of checkout page along with Year, Make, and Model of the vehicle we are to match the kit to. For this example, we will enter 99999. Use this same Zip Code below for simplicity; this specific Zip Code acts as a flag for our order fulfillment personnel.

Zip Code: 99999

Be careful: If you enter a US State of Georgia Zip Code, our system will automatically charge you Georgia state sales tax (about 7%).
 

4) Continuing, Dudley enters his phone number and Email address...
