    I find it funny.

    Everyone had a shot at me a few months about a headlight and driving light upgrade,

    Now everyone is sooking about the LED bar lights.

    Funny thing is my HID upgrade and driving lights dont stick out like LED'S bar lights will.

    LED Light Bars (Qld)

    Get used to it one and all, I know the advantages and the disadvantages of roof mounting lights and roof mounted are a nightmare to oncoming motorists.


    Cheers

    Isn't the fog light thing a matter of enforcement, rather than legislation???
    The OP is also about enforcement, of legislation of lightbars.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    No, it is TMR's legislative ruling [or interpretation] on the lighting ADRs as they apply to light bars.

    If you think enforcement is bad on the east coast, come [back] to WA...

    Where does it state in that document that you cannot fit a light bar to the front of the roof?

    No doubt motorcycles with dual headlights will need to have said lights 600mm apart as well

    EDIT: What the latest ruling is really saying is that they haven't got a clue how to interpret the existing ADR with regard to light bars that would stand up in court, so wrap a piece of 2" black tape around the centre of the light and we can pretend that the law has been satisfied...

    If they have to be fitted in pairs, have one on the bullbar and the other on the roofrack. Said nothing about having to be fitted side-by-side.

    I fail to see how 2" of black tape satisfies a 600 mm gap that they say doesn't apply to driving lights anyway.

    It doesn't, but [in their perverse, rule following way] it satisfies the rule that additional lights must be fitted in pairs.

    It could have been worse, they could have ruled each led in a light bar a separate light... Thereby banning any light bar with more than 4 leds... (allowed to fit 2 pairs of additional lights in most states).
