But you don't need DRLs in the US according to your DOT Rules.

You got lucky.
If it was here in Toronto, they would have slapped you with a ticket the first time they saw you on the road. Red and blue is a pretty sensitive color here.
Damn really, thought Canada was like super relaxed/ not soo strict with everything lol.

Blue or Red lights will get you ticketed so fast.
Leave those color for first responders vehicles.

Any sheriffs/chP in here that can sign it off for me??😃
Just a word to the wise, don't post things that contain your sensitive information. The citation picture you posted has your tag number which can be used to obtain other pieces of information about you. Identity theft is huge and this is one way they can obtain your information.

On a side note, I highly doubt any cop is going to risk their job just to sign off on this for you. Change out the bulbs and have it inspected right and move on.

Not a fan of the geek wheels as well...

That's the second time I saw that. Do cops really do shady stuff over some bulbs or some fix-it ticket?

Well, technically I believe all he really has to do is turn them off and have an LEO sign off that they're not activated. DRLs are not required and the law doesn't say you can't possess blue lighting on your car, it just says you can't display blue lighting on your car while operating on public roads.
