Rep Power: 0  | lights on roll bar can, or does anyone have factual information on the "laws" or interpretation of the laws regarding lights (bull or driving) mounted to the roll bar I think a ($300.)find and 3 demerit points is a bit much (NSW) |

Rep Power: 3 | Re: lights on roll bar Hey Ron, I don't know the actual laws for sure, however after having enough mates get done everytime we headed into NSW, and now that I'm living here, here's the little run down I gave someone else the other day. This is just based on what the NSW cops have had to say (and write on the infringement notices). Quote:

Any and all drving lights must be affixed t the front of the vehicle, the roll bar is not the front of the vehicle, thus making them illegal, even if you get a fine I doubt there would be a defect notice involved (cant remember the exact amount, I'll find out tommorow night and make a post in this thread) Just a little offtopic, any white light facing rearwards must only come on when reversing, making rear-facing worklights (eg. mine) illegal. You would have to either be a real smart-arse, or very unlucky to get fined for it but. cheers   steveo

Rep Power: 3 | Re: lights on roll bar ha ha i had this convo with the cop the other day.... i asked him what was illegal and what was legal.. he told me that lights on the roll bars are illegal for the simple fact that the lights reflect off ur bonnet and back in ur window.. then he said that if u have a good country cop they will not bother with it but if ur in the city be expected to be pulled up..

Rep Power: 2 | Re: lights on roll bar hmm but if you're in the city what does it matter cos u never use high beam so they're never on anyway... The reason i was told they were illegal is that its above your line of sight and going over a rise approaching traffic will be getting your lightforce XGTs before you see them. i wont put any spotties on my roof anymore, mainly because it seems more and more people are being done for it. i will still put work lights on though.

Rep Power: 4 | Re: lights on roll bar WA - Yes this IS the correct information by the way. 6 forward facing headlights in any combination. If you have a vehicle where the lo/hi beam are in one casing they count as 2 (left and right). If your vehicle has seperate lo/hi lamps, they count as 4 (1 lo left, 1 hi left, 1 lo right, 1 lo left). This means, if your vehicle has headlights encased together you are permitted to have 4 extra 'auxillary' lights facing forward. And as such, if you have seperate lo/hi beams, you are permitted to have 2 extra forward facing 'auxillary' lights.
