The brightness of lights on vehicles coming out of the factory remains up to individual manufacturers.

The B.C. Motor Vehicle Act doesn’t stipulate a minimum or maximum number of lumens in headlights, says Cpl . Michael McLaughlin of the RCMP ’s highway patrol.

McLaughlin recommends sticking with the lights your vehicle manufacturer chose.

“Impaired driving, distracted driving, occupant restraint, high-risk driving, pedestrian safety, motorcycle safety, and driving relative to conditions are higher priorities because they kill and injure the most road-users per year,” he says.
