The facelift Freelander 1 has an option for Long Range Driving Light kit (VUB500870). They are pods that fit on the bumper and stick out below the headlights.
They can be seen fitted here:
Freelander Fog lights or driving lights etc - Land Rover Zone
My question is, as they protrude from the front bumper, are they road legal in NSW? Or do they fall foul of these regs:
Vehicle standards and specifications
I have never seen a Freelander with pods fitted in NSW, so would be good to know if they are legit before drilling holes in the bumper.

Good stuff, thanks guys. Gives me the right level of confidence to take the drill to the Freelanders snout and fit these puppies.
Just hope the guy doing the rego doesn't bang his shin on them......

auto shops sell driving light brackets which attach behind the numberplate, ie Aunger ,the lights are mounted above, They protrude beyond the bumper bar, so how can they be legal according to the regs
For a couple of reasons opted not to fit the Driving Light Kit (VUB500870) but fitted the Fog Lamp Kit instead (VUB500960)
Freelander Front Fog Lamp Kit - 04 on - Genuine Land Rover at www.rimmerbros.co.uk
Very easy to fit until you reach the error in the wiring instructions in the enclosed fitting guide. A lot of scraped knuckles and swearing at the back of the passenger compartment fuse box and the pods work a treat.
Long story short; the enclosed instructions advise removing/replacing the wrong cable 'by location' but correct 'by cable colour'.
If you do intend to fit these, the corrected fitting instructions (Issue 2) are on TOPIx.
