Thread: My D3 buildup

Will - I am not sure but I have something in the back of my mind that the rules are that lights are to be mounted and operated in pairs - and as mentioned I believe up to a max of 6.

So a spottie and a fog that come on together are most likely legal but I suspect that if they operate independently that may be a different story.

Yeah I've heard of the pair law, it's ridiculous you can have 4 spotties across the front but not 3 might have a word with vicroads to see what the ruling is in Victoria as every state is different.

Don't forget that you already have 4 standard lights.

Ok as promised here are the pics of the lights in action, you really need to blow them up to see as the attachments show bugger all, but what I see from inside the vehicle is considerable distance over standard high beams and also width of the beam, not sure if the photos clearly show this

The clarity, width and depth of the light definitely make them worthwhile for anyone doing night driving.

I can definitely see a heap more asparagus in the driving lights pic.

If I was to have my time again though I would have just got the black arb bar as opposed to the Colour coded.

Essentially the amount of airflow blocked by the 2 lights alone raises running temp. A third really is like shoving cardboard in front of the grill

Lights must be mounted in Pairs, with a maximum of six units allowed by law.

3 on the bar looks rather "naff" to be honest...

Same with the roof rack - If you mount, mount in pairs...

Forward facing, roof mounted lights ARE legal... If wired correctly.
But still must be mounted in pairs....

3 on a roof rack would look bloody ridiculous!!!!!!

Thanks Peter that is a classic but I only wish I had that much hair
