Are tail light and

headlamp covers

permitted

Sections 6 (e) & 31 of The

Vehicle Equipment

Regulations

Canadian Auto

Manufacturing Stds also

apply.

Head lamp and tail lamp covers of any

type are not permitted.

• Covers reduce the size and impair the

effectiveness of the lamps and reflectors

required by the regulations.

• Covers reduce the amount of light

transmitted in some cases by over 30%.

Reduction of light decreases the amount

of time a driver has to react to an object.

• Ensures optimum visibility to other road

users

Are clear tail lamp

lenses permitted?

Sections 34, 35, 37, 72 of

The Vehicle Equipment

Regulations.

Canadian Auto

Manufacturing Stds

Signal lamps must emit either amber or

red light. Brake lamps (not bulbs) must

be red. Tail lamps (not bulbs) and the

required retro reflective reflectors

(usually a part of the red lamp lens) must

be red. Side marker lamps (not bulbs)

and side retro-reflective reflectors must

be red. Clear tail lamp covers only

permitted where all of the above

requirements are met.

• Usually the clear tail lamp lens does not

include side marker lamps or any red

retro-reflective reflectors as required.

• Identifies the rear of the vehicle.

• Ensures optimum visibility to other road

users.

• Red lamps and retro-reflective reflectors

are international standards and must be

distinguishable at specific distances.

Are colored (blue,

green etc.) or high

intensity headlamp

bulbs permitted?

Sections 6 & 31 of The

Vehicle Equipment

Regulations.

Canadian Auto

Manufacturing Stds also

apply.

• All headlamps must be WHITE in color

as defined by Society of Automotive

Engineers. White lamps have been

tested to meet all headlamp

requirements.

• Maximum wattage allowed in a

headlamp is 70 watts.

• Blue and green lamps are designated for

use on emergency vehicles only.

• Red lamps to front are reserved for

emergency vehicles and school bus

warning lamps.

• High intensity bulbs may assist the driver

of the vehicle but are blinding to oncoming

traffic.

• Colored bulbs give a distorted headlamp

pattern, which may prevent the driver from

seeing a person or object at the road edge

or starting to cross the road.

Are under-car glow lamp

kits permitted?

Section 6 of The Vehicle

Equipment Regulations.

No vehicle driven on a highway shall be

equipped with:

(a) a lamp that emits a white light facing

to the rear;

(b) a lamp that emits a red light facing to

the front;

light.

(d) equipment that detracts from required

lighting.

• White light shining to the rear could be

mistaken by a motorist as approaching the

front instead of the rear of another vehicle.

• Red light shining to the front could be

mistaken by a motorist as approaching the

rear instead of the front of another vehicle.

Lamps that emit a blue or green light are

for use on emergency vehicles only.

Are fog and

auxiliary driving

lamps permitted?

Section 33 of The Vehicle

Equipment Regulations

• Must be focused at least as low and as

far to the right as the low beam

headlamps.

• Must not be mounted any higher than

the headlamps.

• Must comply with permitted lamp colors

(blue, green and red prohibited) and

must be approved for street use.

Restricted use and aiming avoids

reduction of visibility for oncoming drivers.

Does a windshield

with cracks and

damage need to be

replaced?

Section 64 of The Vehicle

Equipment Regulations

The windshield shall not have any crack

that goes through both layers of glass or

any two cracks extending from one

edge to another and passing through the

area swept by the windshield wipers. If a

damaged area is greater than 51.20

millimeters in diameter in the area

swept by the windshield wipers the

windshield must also be replaced.

• These standards ensure the driver’s

visibility is not obstructed and that the

windshield is structurally sound, which is

important in modern vehicles where the

windshield is an integral part of the

unibody design that directs forces (energy)

away from the driver in a crash.

• A damaged windshield reduces load

carrying capacity of the windshield.

Important in roll over situations.

• If applicable allows air bag to operate

properly.

Is after-market

window tinting or

decals permitted on

a window

Section 64 – 66 of

The Vehicle Equipment

Regulations.

• After market window tinting, sunscreen

or reflective material is not permitted on

the windshield or the front side windows

of the vehicle.

• Window tinting is permitted on any

window located behind the driver’s head

providing outside mirrors provide the

• After market material may lower the level

of light transmission through the

windshield which could affect a driver's

ability to see unlit objects and pedestrians

in low light conditions and increase the

probability of a collision.

• The application of a film the glass
