⚠️ Don’t Risk the Ticket

In Canada, licence plate illumination is a legal requirement — not optional:

• 🔦 Required: Rear plates must be lit from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise, and whenever visibility drops below 150 metres
• ⚪ Colour: Must emit plain white light only — coloured LEDs are illegal
• 🔍 Brightness: Minimum 3 candela output required
• 💸 Fine: $110 ticket for a non-compliant or burned-out plate light
• 🚓 Police stop: A dead bulb gives officers a legal reason to pull you over — even if everything else is fine

This OEM unit emits proper white light and meets all Canadian lighting standards right out of the box.
