    A bit of food for thought here for yous early last year i got warned by the QLD DOT about my bullbar top mounted spotlights sat above the bonnet witch i knew was illegal and he let me pull them of on the spot so i questioned him about roof mounted lights and light-bars and in QLD he said it was a grey area but you can get done for it so i put a 42inch light-bar on the roof. now late last year i went on a 4500 thou trip and got pulled over for a RBT in Tumut and nothing was said and then i got pulled over in moree by highway patrol for speeding (missed a sign in a empty road works zone) any way the cop never said anything about my light-bar and let me off no fine or anything but in the end i think it comes down to your attitude at the time

      Just found this in the Federal Register of Legislation which states that there are no specific height requirements see point: 7.4.3.2

      I wonder if you had a copy of this how you would go if you were pulled over by the police?

        In Queensland - Vehicle Standards Instruction (Light 15.3) > Updated Sept. 2015

        http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/-/media/Sa...L153.pdf?la=en

        Can't be mounted on top of the Bullbar (although I've seen a lot of Police vehicles with these still...)
        The placement of driving lamps and associated brackets must not increase the risk of injury to pedestrians. Driving lamps must not be fitted to the top of a bull bar above the forward bonnet line, or protruding forward of the bumper bar or bull bar in a way which would adversely change the profile of the impact zone.
        Certainly not a grey area now from the April 2015 post regarding being pulled up for a roof mounted LED bar - Rule was active from May 2013 and updated in Sept. 2015 -
        Driving lamps may be fitted above the roof line. The driving lamps must be fitted to the front half of the vehicle, when measured from the front to the rearmost point of the vehicle
