I'm not a Canadian inspector, so I don't know their requirements for sure. I was merely making a suggestion that would appear to work.

I don't think that hacking in a DRL module is the best solution in this case. I'm fairly certain that there are less than 10 VXs in the whole country, why can't they (Canada) grant an exception?

Found on the net, the US (or maybe just California) attempt at standardizing DRL requirements between the FMVSS (US) and the CMVSS (Canada):
"Based on the available agency research, NHTSA proposed to limit DRL intensity to 2600 cd. This proposed limit was well below the 7000 cd maximum intensity Canada had established, but more than double the 1200 cd limit then in effect or proposed in some European countries for DRLs."

It appears that there is some latitude (candela/output)here. So, it seems that as long as you fall somewhere in between the 1200 cd 'city lights' of Europe, and the maximum brightness of 7000 cd in Canada.

Now to find bulb ratings...
