the regulations regarding lighting in queensland has changed a fair bit lately

for instance you can now legally have lights mounted on roll bars etc, where as before this was not allowed.

Have you tried the qld transport website?

Lighting Systems
All additional lighting systems are to be fitted strictly in
accordance with Queensland legislation.
Additional pairs of headlights, showing a beam of white light
only, may be fitted and must not affect the driver’s view. The
headlights must be mounted symmetrically. Additional high
beam headlights must extinguish automatically when low
beam is selected.
A pair of fog lights, showing a beam of white or yellow light,
may be fitted to the front of a motor vehicle with the centres
no higher than the top of the dipped beam headlight. The lamps
must be mounted symmetrically not less than 600mm apart.
Fog lights must be capable of being switched on and off
independently of any headlights but must only be able to be
switched on when the parking lights are on. Fog lights must
not be used except in fog or mist or under other atmospheric
conditions which restrict visibility.
Blue lights are not allowed on any vehicles except police vehicles.
Red lights and reflectors must face to the rear. White lights
and reflectors must face forward.
Amber lamps are not permitted except for clearance and outline
lamps of goods vehicles and buses and indicators on all vehicles.
With the exception of indicators, flashing lights are not
permitted on any vehicle, except
• special vehicles for use in hazardous situations (eg. tow
trucks) and
• emergency vehicles (eg. police).

So does this apply just to fog lights, or all additional lights? My ARB Bull bar has two holes which I presume are for mounting lights, but they're not 600mm apart.

These dickheads who run around town with their fog lights on shit me no end - I wish police would have a crack-down on this.

I believe this is for fog lights only because they are active with low beam they must be spaced out so people dont think they are spot lights.

Fog lights need to be mounted low and wide to actually work in fog anyway.
