I have been informed that it is a nationwide ADR approval and therefore makes all roof mounted lights legal.

I suggest you confirm this with the local authorities though to be on the safe side.

I had this from the Modifications section of Qld. Dept. of Transport only about three weeks ago. Roof mounted lights are now permitted. the Dept. is not in favour of such installations and did not recommend this approval. This appears to have been a political decision to allow the installation. Usage, however, is a different matter, being neither specifically permitted nor forbidden. These lights must be independently switched (not individually). They do not meet the Dept's definition of "additional headlights" which is what the Dept. calls spotlights, long range driving lights, searchlights (Hella 1503 & 1507, and Bosch SL5 are referred to as such in-house by their makers), etcetra, which must be switched through the high beam headlights. Additional headlights may be mounted with their centres no higher than the top edge of the high beam headlights, hence roof top lights not meeting the definition. The Dept. spokesman referred to the regulations covering use of high beam headlights, that is not to be used within 200 metres of another vehicle, not to annoy the driver of another vehicle, or interfere with the safe operation of another vehicle. He made the point that the driver of the other vehicle could be a stroppy copper or a pedantic Transport inspector, in which case a fine and points could apply, and possibly an "over the pits" inspection. He suggested their use be best restricted to off-road or private road usage.
