Despite the first paragraph, the headlights, lights and reflectors of a military-type road vehicle are not required to comply with the manufacturer’s standards. However, they must comply with the Canadian safety standards for motor vehicles provided for in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (S.C. 1993, c. 16) that apply on the date of the vehicle’s manufacture or with SAE International’s Standard J759. In the latter case, headlights and lights must light up with the intensity intended by their manufacturer.
