Demon eyes

Hey there, looking on purchasing the red demon eyes halo kit. Does anyone know if these would be illegal in Canada?

You could buy the AAC dual colour halo kit.
Switches from red to white with the push of a button. If you get caught rolling with the red, then your screwed but atleast you have the choice of switching colors. Im getting the halos this summer for sure.

they're really only illegal if you get caught
get the orange instead, then you're safe and they are pretty dark, maybe they're close enough

anything in red or blue on the front of the vehicle is illegal unless you're a emerg. vehicle. Have to be amber or white on the front, and red on the back of the vehicle.

I'm sure it's some respectful catchphrase.....


Here are some facts which you so nicely posted for me to quote from:

Article 62 refers to side marker lights only.....

Pay particular attention to Article 15......

Now I don't know what the US laws are, but I think it's pretty clear that red halos in Canada are ILLEGAL.....
It doesn't say anything about being parked, but "shall not carry" pretty much means at all times to me......

As you can see the poster with the red halos is from the US

Amber halos, not a problem....


Lamps required on all motor vehicles except motorcycles
62. (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1).
Intermittent red light restricted
(14) Subject to subsections (14.1) and (15), no person shall use a lamp, other than the vehicular hazard warning signal lamps commonly known as four way flashers, that produces intermittent flashes of red light. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (14); 2007, c. 13, s. 17 (1).
Red and blue lights to the front restricted
(14.1) In addition to the lighting requirements in this Part, a police department vehicle may carry lamps that cast red and blue lights, but no other motor vehicle shall carry any lamp that casts red and blue lights to the front. 2007, c. 13, s. 17 (2).
Red light in front
(15) In addition to the lighting requirements in this Part, a vehicle described in subsection (15.1) may carry lamps that cast a red light only or such other colour of light that may, with the approval of the ministry, be designated by a by-law of the municipality in which the vehicle is operated, but no other motor vehicle shall carry any lamp that casts a red light to the front. 1998, c. 35, s. 103.

The following are vehicles to which subsection (15) applies:
1. An ambulance, fire department vehicle, police department vehicle, public utility emergency vehicle or school bus.
2. A ministry vehicle operated by an officer appointed for carrying out the provisions of this Act or the Public Vehicles Act, while the officer is in the course of his or her employment.
3. A vehicle while operated by a conservation officer, fishery officer, provincial park officer or mine rescue training officer, while the officer is in the course of his or her employment.
4. A vehicle while operated by a provincial officer designated under the Environmental Protection Act, the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, the Ontario Water Resources Act, or the Pesticides Act, while the officer is in the course of his or her employment.


So as you can see, unless you're a vehicle descriptive of these last 4 points, they're illegal in Canada...


Pretty much what I said in my original post except without the lawyer talk......

Internet slang for "Quoted for truth". Basically a way of saying you agree with what you quoted.
