Section 15
Disposition versions
15. All the headlights, lights, reflectors and reflective materials required by the Code shall be present, comply with the manufacturer’s standards and be securely mounted in the locations designed for that purpose. When they are on an electric circuit, the headlights, lights and indicator lamps shall light up with the intensity intended by the manufacturer if the switch of the electric is turned on. Despite the foregoing, in the case of a headlight that uses light emitting diodes, 100% of them shall be in working order and in the case of a light that uses light emitting diodes, more than 75% of them shall be in working order.
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.
The provisions of the first paragraph also apply to alternately flashing yellow lights with which a school bus is equipped.
