Answer – “Part #70-987, sold through Canadian Tire, is exactly the same as Hamsar
part # 45040. Please consult our
Application Guide to confirm this is the correct
part for your vehicle.”
Answer - If your vehicle is not included in the
Application Guide, we suggest using
Hamsar part #45040 connected to the fog lamps ONLY. If your vehicle is not equipped
with fog lamps, the kit part #45040 can be connected to an aftermarket set of fog
lamps.

Answer - A 'headlights on' policy decreases accident rates but increases operating
costs, which are significant for two main reasons - headlamp replacements and fuel.
Headlamp replacement costs can easily be as high as $120.00 per year, per vehicle.
Extra fuel is consumed because of the constant demand of electrical energy to run
all of the vehicle's lights. This additional fuel would amount to .195 gallons for
cars and .225 gallons for trucks every 100 miles (160 km) traveled. The fuel costs
for a truck averaging 50,000 miles per year (approx 80,000 km) would be $130.00.
This does not take into account any costs associated with the lights being left
on unintentionally and the cost of road-side assistance. Hamsar's dedicated daytime
running light systems can eliminate up to 95% of the operating costs of driving
with all lights on. "Those vehicle users (including truck and bus companies) who
have operated with lights on in daytime in the absence of the regulation will also
benefit disproportionately in being able to avoid the costly use of all vehicle
lamps." 2/9/87 Canada Gazette, Part II.
Answer – Hamsar Visi-Light® daytime running lights all feature the proprietary Hamsar
0100 custom integrated circuit. This means that every daytime running light produced
