IN the US, huge fines for selling the "conversions' in BC the sellers could be charged under the MV Act for selling "defective" equipment ..

Sale of motor vehicle contrary to regulations

222 A person must not sell, offer for sale, expose or display for sale or deliver over to a purchaser for use a motor vehicle, trailer or equipment for them that is not in accordance with this Act and the regulations.




thanks for info, but these lights are still gonna continue to be sold by various shops there is nothing stopping them, the same way that tint shops will continue tinting front windows which is also illegal but once again there is nothing stopping them, least of all some small line in the MVA

It all comes full circle though, at the end of the day I think the city loves the fact they can have their officers ticket these offences and make money for the city, instead of actually shutting these practices down at the source like you typically would with mostly anything else that isn't legal for use.
I wonder how much the ticket quota would be affected if they actually did this
