I think that because your car was built for the US market, you'd get a waiver if you did move to Canada.

I could be wrong, though...

In Canada ALL vehicles are required to have all their lights on when driving. If moving to Canada your car MUST be modified to have your lights come on automatically.

I have an 09 Brabus with daytime running lights the only difference I can see is the dash lights are off,no bright lights, and no fog lights. Also you can turn the daytime running lights off if you want.

Ummmm....

I'm currently *in* Canada (Calgary, to be specific, after a week in Ottawa and a week in Saskatoon) and if that opinion is true, then there are one *HELL* of a lot of Canadian automobiles in violation...

I would conservatively guess that 85% of the cars I see operating on the roads up here do not have DRLs.
