Because, as I was pointed out by the Sergeant that defected me, ‘ The front of the vehicle is designated by the door seam at the drivers right shoulder’. This is forward or front of the vehicle.

however, it goes on to talk about not increasing the risk of pedestrian injury, line of sight of the driver and so on. That means the above statement is not a license to install the lights wherever and however you please on the roof. It also specifically mentions protrusions. Enough! What does all this mean? The driving lights may be fitted with an isolator switch to allow high beam to be switched on without the driving lights also being switched on. The lights should, as far as is possible, be installed symmetrically in pairs of between 2 or 4 lights. The rules excerpts above all more or less say the same thing, but every authority has put their own slant on it. One problem is that absolutes such as “you will not mount lights on your roof” (unless you’re in WA) have been replaced by “do not dazzle another road user” and “cause driver discomfort”. This is good because it gives freedom of placement, but bad because it’s hard to define what dazzling or discomfort is.

A maximum of four driving lamps (including LED light bars) can be fitted to a vehicle in addition to the vehicle’s main beam headlamps. The first principle of vehicle modifications in Australia is that the answer is always state-specific. Sadly, each part of Australia has its own road authority, which has a slightly different set of rules so what’s legal in one state may not be legal in another. Because, well, who knows. We just have to live with the pain. Will fit almost all factory front bumpers sizing just a little wider than your license plate to maintain the factory feel of your vehicle. faqaccordion article {padding-top: 0!important;font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em; padding-left: 0.7em; padding-right: 0.7em;} The light or lights must be installed to be forward facing and in a position that does not obscure the driver’s view of the road ahead.

Simple, lightweight solution for mounting driving lamps or LED light bars to most cars, vans and commercial vehicles. Location– no higher than the car’s headlights. If you do that, then there shouldn’t be any drama with arguments over dazzling other users, discomfort and so on. You could perhaps mount higher legally, if you’re prepared to handle the dazzle/discomfort issue. The actual words from ADR13 are “illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle without causing undue dazzle or discomfort to oncoming drivers and other road‑users”. If lamps are not fitted as pairs (e.g. one, three etc), they must be fitted to the front of the vehicle, symmetrically about the centre. In length: At the front of the vehicle. This requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied if the light emitted does not cause discomfort to the driver either directly or indirectly through the devices for indirect vision and/or other reflecting surfaces of the vehicle.” The lamp/s must only come on when the main-beam (high beam) headlamps are used, and must automatically turn off when the main-beam headlamps are turned off.Mounting– symmetrical relative to the centreline of the vehicle, even if Vicroads have poor wording. Rules clear here too. I’m in Victoria, and have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with a bullbar, which has a pair of HID spotties in the middle above the winch. In length: AT THE FRONT of the vehicle and fitted in such a way that the light emitted does not cause discomfort to the driver either directly or indirectly through the rear-view mirrors and/or other reflecting surfaces of the vehicle.””
