I have a 99 Honda Accord which was purchased in USA. I am moving to
Canada. Canada requires Daytime Running Lights(DRL) on cars. "Canadian
Tire", a superstore in Canada, will charge about $200.

I want to achieve this at a minimum cost. Also, I have no knowledge
about the car wiring etc.

DRL keeps the headlights on all the time, at a reduced intensity, even
when the headlight knob is off.

Clarification of Question by help_with_drl-ga on 18 Aug 2005 00:39 PDT

I am looking for an answer within 2 days of posting.

Simply turn on your headlights every time.  You will also benefit from 
amber corner lights and illuminated tail lights.
 
Older model cars were grandfathered and not *required* by law to
upgrade/modify lighting systems.
The law was enacted to reduce collisions and because some people
persisted in driving their low gray car in the rain at dusk on
two-lane 55 mph highways without lights (like in Scotland).

I think it is mandatory for imported vehicles (manufactured after Nov 1989).

Is that not true?

Hi,

it is illegal to change something in the headlamp. A very easy and
cheap solution is a additional daytime running light for exapmle from

It costs maximum 60 Dollar for two.
