So in Canada it is apparently the law that all vehicles have DTR. That said, my truck may be heading to a new home in Canada..and would need DTR. anyone know the best/easiest/cheapest way to make the change?

 

i believe the owners manual explains how to enabel it

 

I dont even think my truck has it, ill have to look. I thought you had to buy the module and install it? It runs about 90 bucks on fordparts.com, I know cause many a time Ive thought of adding them. . .

 

o ok, i thought it just had to be enabled kinda like the seat belt reminders....

 

Ford makes a DRL module for the trucks that don't have it. It can be ordered through the parts counter as a genuine Ford accessory.

 

im really not sure, Im almost positive mine doesnt have it. But it could be that certain trucks have it, just need it enabled.

 

Does your truck have the auto-headlights???


Cover the sensor, leave the auto switch on all the time

Price-Free


Or, if they allow it, buy some cheapy driving or fog lights from Walmart or the like and wire them in with a relay hooked up to a switched wire.

Price-25 dollars

 

i dunno, i think youll have to get the real deal, theyre getting really stiff with it up here, with the can. dollar so high theyre trying to deterr anyone from buying american cars and importing them. it might need other things too, theres a list online somewhere ill see if i can track down a link for you.

 

Usually a dealer or whom ever just needs to run a short little wire to have day time runners. You need them for inspection pruposes when you bring it across but after that I couldn't really see getting pulled over for it. Canada's pretty leanyent that way. BC anyway.

 

yeah its just getting the import inspection id be worried about but after that i doubt youd ever have a problem, found this link, hope it helps, http://www.riv.ca/english/Transport_..._importers.pdf

 

A friend of mine took a cap off a plastic coke bottle and glued it on top of the day/night sensor on the dash - haha - cheap DRL's.

 

Selling it or moving?

That Registrar of Imported Vehicles site posted by xtylerx has all the info you need, but if you can get that module then I'm sure the truck will fly through the inspection without any other hitches.

 

I saw an avalanch yesterday with DRL's. They they had the fogs as the DRL's. I dont know if it was stock but it looked pretty good for a DRL solution.
