Mounting– symmetrical relative to the centreline of the vehicle, even if Vicroads have poor wording. Rules clear here too. The lights should, as far as is possible, be installed symmetrically in pairs of between 2 or 4 lights. Location– no higher than the car’s headlights. If you do that, then there shouldn’t be any drama with arguments over dazzling other users, discomfort and so on. You could perhaps mount higher legally, if you’re prepared to handle the dazzle/discomfort issue. The actual words from ADR13 are “illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle without causing undue dazzle or discomfort to oncoming drivers and other road‑users”. does not cause the driver of the vehicle discomfort, either directly or by reflection while in the normal driving position. If the lights are not fitted as pairs, they must be fitted symmetrically about the centre line of the vehicle.So, below I’ve written a conservative interpretation based on reading the above and other sources which appears to comply with all the states’ various demands. But as I’m not transport minister, it’s not law so use at your own disrection and as guidance only: however, it goes on to talk about not increasing the risk of pedestrian injury, line of sight of the driver and so on. That means the above statement is not a license to install the lights wherever and however you please on the roof. It also specifically mentions protrusions. Enough! What does all this mean? LED Light Bars and additional headlights may be fitted, provided that they meet the following requirements:

The light/s must only come on when the main-beam (high beam) headlights are used, and must automatically turn off when the main-beam headlights are turned off. I have been trying to save up for some Light bars, and now I’m not 100% sure if I should get everything planned and risk it, or not. Number of driving lights– maximum four. This may be 2 x pairs of spotties, 4 x lightbars, 2 x spotties and 2 x lightbars. The rules are clear on this. http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/Safety/Vehicle%20standards%20and%20modifications/Vehicle%20standards/Vehicle%20standards%20instructions/L152Drivinglampsv3.pdf The light or lights must not be fitted or be used in any way that is likely to dazzle another road user and must be installed in a way that the light produced does not cause the driver of the vehicle discomfort either directly or by reflection.Will fit almost all factory front bumpers sizing just a little wider than your license plate to maintain the factory feel of your vehicle. The driving lights may be fitted with an isolator switch to allow high beam to be switched on without the driving lights also being switched on. The light or lights must be installed to be forward facing and in a position that does not obscure the driver’s view of the road ahead.

Great solution if you need to install a Spot Light or a LED Light Bar but do not have a nudge bar or bull bar to mount to. Universal fitment, with no modification required. So far, I’m yet to hear of anyone having compliance issues if the above list is adhered to. Oh, and don’t forget to allow adequate cooling space too. I can’t see any problems with lights mounted on the roof, or having more lights than allowed as long as they aren’t used on the road. The only reason in my mind that lights mounted on the roof could be an issue is that they raise the clearance of the vehicle, and the car may not be able to fit into a standard garage, or car park, but as long as the driver knows the height, then he/she can avoid attempting to park where the clearance prevents. The other thing that is now concerning me is I am in the process of setting up some accessories, which includes a pair of led lights mounted in the rear bumper, and which are switchable, and come on when in reverse. We have a caravan, and having the ability to light up the rear, should make it easier to to reverse, especially when parking the caravan, and when reversing to hook up the caravan. The car has a well positioned reversing camera, which shows the tow ball, and allows me to see exactly where everything is, and I can hook up the caravan without a need for a spotter.

The ADRs from what I believe are for road use, but when going off road, I can’t see how the same rules apply. A lot of these lights state on the box, and some on the actual lights as well, that they are not suitable for use on public roads, or that they are only suitable for off road use only, so in that situation, as long as they don’t cause an obstruction to the driver, then it should be ok. The first principle of vehicle modifications in Australia is that the answer is always state-specific. Sadly, each part of Australia has its own road authority, which has a slightly different set of rules so what’s legal in one state may not be legal in another. Because, well, who knows. We just have to live with the pain. style>
