roof mounted lights

[yorky 1861]

I have heard many arguments about having roof mounted lights as part of the roof rack. Had a mate get pulled ove by nsw police, and was asked to remove them. So why can so many B & S utes have them. Being a driving instructor myself, ive heard many different versions.

Concider this, semi's and B doubles have lights on top of bull bar, and yet that can be relative high so it the height the issue, and is it legal to have roof mounted spot lights,,,

You can have roof mounted lights now. Jeep had the limit raised from 1350mm because one of its models had roof mounted lights.
You still can't use them on the road but you can have them up there.

In SA the regs used to be a maximum of 6 lights,2 of which were headlights,plus a combination of either spot/foglights in an even con-figuration IE 2X spots and 2x fogs,4X fogs(?) or 4X spots. Anything that was considered off-road (roof lights) had to be covered or facing rearward whilst driving on public roads..this has probably changed now.

Correct. You can only have 6 forward facing lights.

i dont know about the legalities, but i was told by a mate with a yanga (b&s) ute that you need an even number (2 or 4 etc) not 3 as he had - thats what qld cops told him
