Small spotlight recommendations....

[SKT]

I've seen hundreds of vehicles with roof mounted lights around the country and in Qld of late, to be specific.........

I cant imagine its illegal and they all get away with it.

I'm looking at the QLD modification handbook found at......

QLD Transport - All Vehicles Modifications

I think the main points to note are........

Specific (Driving lamps)
• Two additional pairs of driving lamps may be fitted to a motor
vehicle.
• The driving lamps must be mounted symmetrically on the vehicle.
• The light emitted must not cause the driver discomfort either
directly or indirectly through the rear view mirror and/or other
reflecting surfaces of the motor vehicle.
• Driving lamps must not be placed wider than the dipped beam
headlamps.
• The colour of light emitted from driving lamps must be white.
• Additional driving lamps must only operate in conjunction with the
high beam circuit and must be fitted with an independent on/off
switch.
• There is no individual height specification for the fitting of driving
lamps.

The only issue I have is..........

"..............may be fitted to the front of a motor vehicle......."

Clearly the roof is not the front of the vehicle.

yeah ive seen them al too but stil im 99 percent sure its illegal or the fact cops dont know its illegal

What i was thinking of doing was making a pnumatic or solenoid operated bar.
When the lights are off the bar points upwards, with the flick of a switch also to power the bar and set it to on position.
The lights are mounted on the roof but not in a forward position.

And it would be total wank factor =P
