Cobrajet -- thank you, given that english is not my first language any praise on my language skill is very flattering.
BTW, I should have posted this initially -- when I spoke to the Canadian Tire folk doing both federal and provincial inspections I asked them if there were *any* regulations for the power output or the size of the DRL and they said no. So if anyone is giving you hard time with the fog lights as DRL -- ask them for the specific regulations and post here please.
