1999 Delica Chamonix headlamps

Post by tamra070 »

I am importing a 1999 Delica Chamonix turbo diesel. Its all stock parts and I was wondering if the stock parts for this vehicle are DOT>Do series two delicas come stock with DOT lights for importing into Canada, specifically BC. What about the tires.

I am new to the site and I am unsure where I Should actually be posting this do please direct me.

The short answer is NO. JDM's don't come into Canada meeting all the DOT requirements for Canada. When you talk to the registry office and tell them you are importing a JDM they should be giving you a bunch of paperwork for the registration process you must follow and al the stuff you need to know before hand.

A short list of some requirments:
  • E Code Headlights for Canada: JDM lights point to the left side of the road......kinda in the faces of oncoming Canuck drivers.
    4 stick on reflectors. 2 amber(front fender - side location) and 2 red (rear quarter - side location) so that your deli is visible while parked.
    Broken windshield and cracks that are in the drivers point of view are a no-no
    Rusty exhaust system that has holes/weak spots..
    Tires: Some are DOT Canada compliant, some are not. Best to verify before your mandatory Out of Province inspection.
Basically anything that compromises safety is going to be identified. A reputable shop that knows the JDM import rules can advise....Who are you buying it through?
