How many driving lights can I have?
2 lights
Number of Lights Unlike other states, the NSW Legislation states no rules as to the number of additional lights that can be fitted to your vehicle. Instead, any lights that you install to your vehicle must be done in pairs – therefore you must fit 2 lights at a time.
Can I have my light bar on while driving?
The short answer to this question is no. Due to their brightness, LED light bars cannot be in use while you drive on public roads. In fact, simply leaving them off isn’t enough in most states. An LED light cover must be used while the vehicle is driven on the highway.
Where do you place an additional driving light?
Fitted symmetrically (same position on both sides of the vehicle). If installing a single additional driving light (i.e. LED light bar) it must be installed horizontally and located symmetrically about the longitudinal centre line of the vehicle. Light colour: White Operation:
Where can you mount LED lightbars in a car?
Switching – driving lights only able to be switched on with full beam, and full beam must be operable without the driving lights. That seems to be safest and is what most people do anyway. Orientation – long side of the lightbar to the horizontal. Location – no higher than the car’s headlights.
What are the different types of driving lights?
Additional Driving lights (Driving Lamps) Additional driving lights (including LED Light Bars) are auxiliary lights that can be fitted to a vehicle for the sole purpose to provide increased illumination to the road ahead of the vehicle over a long distance when the vehicle’s head lights are used on high beam.
What makes an LED light bar a driving light?
An LED light bar is considered to be one driving light if all the LEDs operate together simultaneously. If an LED light bar has different parts or sections that can be switched on or off independent of other parts or sections, then each independently controlled section counts as a driving light. 3 At the front of the vehicle.

How do you install your own driving lights?
A wiring diagram can guide you. To fit your new lights, follow these steps: • Find a suitable place on your dashboard for the switch. The switch will activate the driving lights when you turn on your vehicle’s high beams. Most vehicles have a pop-out-style compartment for mounting auxiliary switches, but you might need to drill a hole in the dash.
