Dont believe it! ive spoken to mods departments in brisbane about almost everything. (i have their direct number on speed dial)BenJancz wrote:Hi Tim, I have 4 IPF lights on the way that i want to mount on my roof, anyways I have been doing a tonne of research (about an hour) on all the rules and blah blah blah. The rules are pretty inconsistent and Queensland has the most relaxed rules regarding driving lights. In Short
• The lamps should, as far as is possible, be installed symmetrically in pairs to the front of the vehicle.should, as far as is possible... ambiguous or what?
i.e. I am going to mount 1 pair on my bullbar. This will make it impossible to mount the second pair there forcing them onto the roof.
• 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.
i.e. I think a single light bar should be mounted on the Bull Bar although I have no idea why it matters.
And if either of us cross the Border we run the risk of being booked, although it may be possible to drive around with a cover on it on the road and only use it offroad.

The laws are all over the place, I will carry around all the relevant codes with the relevant sections marked just in case.
They told me there are TWO rules that are most important. others not so important.
1. lights MUST NOT be mounted on top of bull bar. This will obstruct vision and also cause damage to person if hit. WTF im sure the lights are least of their worry if they get hit!
2. Your lights must not dazzle other road users.
That is all
