Normally Canada follows the US on car design regulations.  But in the
eighties it became mandatory to have a bright lights facing forward
whenever the car is on.  Most cars just use the regular low beams.
Some (I hate 'em) use the high beams at slightly lower brightness.
Others have bright yellow or special-purpose lights bright enough to
qualify.  (Audi has myriad shapes and patterns of white LEDs on
various cars).

Since our car industries are so tightly linked, I'm surprised that a
rule like this has been in place for a quarter century in one country
and ignored in the other.
