It is quite simple, you get the correct switch or you do a cheap (?) fix.
Canadian Tire can do that by all accounts but the best is the Canadian switch.
Maybe some Canuck will trade a US switch for their Canadian switch. Ask if anyone wants to switch, thats too puny for words.

Actually what I got from the dealeship is that I need a new module with DRL (not sure if this is the same when you say I need a new switch).
Part number 5098639AA.
I might go for it if this will fix it for sure.

I bought the switch which is a complete assembly with fuses already installed for $432 from a Chrysler dealer in vaughan and did the install myself. Just a few harnesses to plug in. The hardest part was taking apart the lower dash panel under the steering wheel and the lower left dash piece where the switch mounts. The whole job took about an hour.

Hi,
Can you please provide me with the part number and the dealer? My dealer is asking for $600 for the part.
Thanks.

Part # 05098639AA from SevenView at Hwy 7 between Jane and Keele.

The part retails for $532 but the parts guy said he'd do it for $ 432. They were still making about $100

The aftermarket DRL module can be hooked into the fog lights, which works fine, but the headlamp warning light comes on in the dash. I hate warning lights. After the safety unhook the connection and turn the lights on manually.

I opted to buy the switch so that I'm always compliant and didn't want there to be any reason to be pulled over in this missile. Also, if I ever sell the car, it will be certifiable.

Default low beam bulb

Can someone tell if they have used canadian tire bulbs for their car and if they had any trouble with them. is it necessary to purchase Mopar replacements? Also were you able to do the change yourself or did you need to take it to the dealer. If so how much time did it take?

I would trust the CTC bulbs as they sell name brand bulbs. Some of these bulbs do have a bad reputation for burning out quite quickly.
Do a search and see which type it is, I think it is a Sylvania model, but I am not sure what model it is.
Edit
SilverStars are the questionable bulbs, but to get better output the bulbs will be stressed more. If high output is not neccesary buy the normal bulb.
