I am surprised that the reg's in Alberta require the use of DRL in a vehicle that didn't have them equipped or require them when manufactured. This would be the equivalent of putting seat belts on a model T . Wouldn't it?
If it is so then I'm going to take a trailer to Alberta and buy a pile of old trucks.

Just go to Canadian Tire, they have a DRL kit. Just curious when this reg came in. I am trying to remove the DRL's on my 04.

Actually it's a Canadian Law for DRL's.

Alberta has nothing to do with it.

I am not aware of any law that makes vehicle made before DRL's were law that have to have them.
I drive with my headlights on to make my Battery last longer.
