Regulation respecting safety standards for road vehicles

2. Lighting devices and warning lights

15. All the headlights, lights and reflectors required by the Code shall be present, comply with the manufacturer's standards and be securely mounted in the locations designed for that purpose. All the headlights, lights and indicator lamps on an electric circuit shall light up with the intensity intended by the manufacturer when the switch of the electric is turned on.

18. The reflectors or lens shall be properly installed in the locations designed for that purpose and none shall be missing, broken, so cracked as to let water in, discoloured, painted over or of the wrong colour.

there was a can of taillight paint that was very good.
it was called 'nightshades'
worked very well on wetsanded plastic.

painting the lights black would be more of an issue, but red or amber colors should be less troublesome

c'est pas légal, mais si tu es raisonnable et que tes lumieres ne sont pas noir noir noir tu ne devrais pas avoir de trouble, bien entendu il y a toujours un risque cependant, la plupart de mes amis ont mis du <nightshade> sur leur taillight de facon raisonnable et n'ont jamais eu de trouble, ils se sont fait deja arrete avec le nightshade sur les tailight mais n'ont jamais eu d'amendes etant reliées a ca... Par contre trouve du nightshade ces temps-ci c'est pas mal rare de tous les shops que je suis alle il restait juste 2 bouteilles.. my 2 cents
