DOT headlights/sidemarkers for GT-Four (ICBC) Options

[Jeebus]

Heyo,

Just a quick question here.
I'm in the process of buying a GT-Four from Alberta, and driving it back to British Columbia. Now, I need to get the car to pass a safety inspection in BC before I get any insurance coverage, and one of the many stipulations is that (as you may know), a bunch of lights have to be DOT approved.

My plan is to source out a few items from a North American '94 Celica, whatever model I can find, and transplant them onto my future GT-Four. The items are:
- Headlights, both high & low beam
- sidemarker lights
- 3rd break light.

Now I've searched and perused many-a-posts, and read up on these two articles, but am not sure whether it answered my questions.

My main question is, will transplanting these lights work, and will the wiring be a quick and easy 'plug n play' ?

Thanks for your time,
Jeebus

The only lights I had to change when doing my OOP inspection were the low beams, everything else on the car was approved

Mind you, I can only speak for the Alberta OOP.
The low beams and installation of Daytime running lights were the only changes on my car. The JDM reflector lamps and JDM projector lamps are not DOT approved. You will have to source out a USDM set of low beams.
Sidemarker was ok, there was a 3rd brake light, and they didn't note the lack of red reflectors
