New Alberta laws against imports is comming up starting may 1 2003. I don't know what exactly these new laws are I was hoping that someone else knows more info.
The only target that I know of so far is the complete illegalization of ANY after market light bulb that is installed. There was a study saying that so far there is no recorded accident regarding aftermarket light bulbs being wrong colors, too bright or non-standard beam pattern, but citizens have complained about them. So basically the police say it's illeagal to have them on your car if they did not come with them from the factory, but if it's factory then it's ok. So I think HID kits now will be a target.
Without the protecting of SEMA lobiests here in Canada were all have to take these new laws up the hoop. Where as SEMA in the US protects the import community by fighting laws so they don't get passed or to reduce their effect.
The police hate now has more firepower!
