    Roof mounted lights

    Last time I read the Regs and ADR's few months back its legal to mount BUT not to actually used them on open roads at night. Ok maybe in the Bush off road!
    I would check with the licensing people before installing if you intend to use at night on open road, also your insurance company! For compliance.

    Hi digger a sorry mate, the ADRs were changed quite a few years ago and we can thank Jeep for getting them changed.

    BUT!

    ADRs are nothing but recommenbations and are NOT laws unless a specific State makes them the legal requirement in that specific state.

    Again, ADRs are not manditory but the NSW and Vic have aborted them, and roof mounted lights were never at any time, illegal in Queensland.

    Yeah, quite legal now to mount and use pretty much anywhere in Australia. The powers that be moved onto other things to annoy us a while ago now.

    There are requirements about making sure they don't interfere with the drivers line of sight (hence not allowed on the top of a bull bar - this is also due to pedestrian impact), must not cause the driver discomfort including glare (so as discussed, not having roof mounted light shining into the bonnet), must only come on with the high beam and a max of 4 additional lights other than the vehicle was delivered with.

    Certainly in Vic and I think in all other states, the wording about them having to be mounted to the front of the vehicle of below bonnet height has been deleted, so as long as you comply with the above few stipulations, you can stick 'em where you like.

    Even before all this happened I never copped any grief with my roof mounted lights on my RRC, even when pulled up for a random breath test - only time a Policeman ever mentioned them he said 'They look good'...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
