One of the drawbacks of importing an American car into Canada is the need to make modifications to meet the Canadian safety standards. In order to bring the USA Toyota Prius up to Canada spec I had to install daytime running lights. Luckily, There are many instructions found throughout the internet to aid in my quest to install the daytime running lights (drl). I ended up using a kit that utilizes the turn signal lights as the drl. The turn signals still flicker on/off when turning and are switched off when the main headlamps turned on. The kit cost $50, and I spent 3 hours of my time to install. This could have been quicker, but I wanted to make sure i had the right wires before cutting into anything. Here is the end result (without the wires tied up)
