Replacing the fogs with DRLs is probably best but how does Constable Plod know that they're not fog lights?"Sure it’s quiet, for a diesel, but that’s like being well-behaved… for a murderer."- Jeremy Clarkson

I replaced the lights in the Sovereign bullbar with LEDs

Then replaced the parkers in the headlights with LEDs too. So I shouldn't have to change bulbs for quite a while yet.

Well I think you have done good!
Some might say that I am biased, but You can expect some positive comments from people that can not help but notice them.
p.s. Have you spotted the latest 200 series model? Has the D.R.L. incorperated into the headlights
Cheers
Foxclan
I'd seen them running around before, thought I'd try them out. The DRL's on the 200 series look very smart. I used the warm white LED as the white LED looked funny with the headlights..

This is SA Law
Lighting
Additional lighting systems are to be fitted strictly in accordance with South Australian legislation and must be marked to be compliant to ADR specifications.
You may fit up to a maximum of four additional lights, in pairs, providing the lights show a white beam only. Lights fitted must not affect the drivers view and must be mounted symmetrically. Additional driving lights must extinguish automatically when low beam is selected.
All driving lights and headlamps must be mounted at the front of the vehicle.
Front Fog lights
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 light 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 can only be used in fog or conditions with reduced visibility.
Coloured lights
Red and blue lights are not allowed on any vehicles except emergency vehicles (for example police, fire and ambulance). Red lights and reflectors must only face to the rear of the vehicle. White lights and reflectors must face forward. Yellow/Amber lights are permitted for indicators, fog lights and for side clearance lights on large vehicles and buses.
With the exemption of indicators, amber flashing lights are not permitted on any vehicle, except special vehicles for use in hazardous situations and emergency vehicles.
Some modern halogen bulbs provide superior illumination to traditional bulbs. These bulbs contain less red/yellow and bluer frequencies of light to achieve a whiter appearance. Replacement head light bulbs must display compliant ADR or equivalent markings.
Daytime running lamps
Daytime running lights are bright white forward-facing lights that improve the visibility of a vehicle in the daytime. A pair of daytime running lamps may be fitted to a motor vehicle. The lights must be wired so they are not illuminated while the vehicles main headlights are on. They also must conform to requirements outlined in the Australian Design Rules 76/00.
HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps
HID light bulbs, also know as Xenon lights, produce a light by creating an electrical arc across two electrodes, resulting in a much brighter white/blue light than normal halogen light bulbs. The fitting of HID headlamps is permissible providing that they are fitted with automatic headlamp levelling devices and headlamp cleaners. They must also conform to any requirements in set in ADR 13.Regards

This is a picture of my own effort:
I just tapped into the bull bar paking light wire and made an earth connection to the body.
21 LED's per side @ $10 a side.
Do gets some good comments from other people, but more importantly increases the daytime visibility of the vehicle.

Where did you get them for $10 a side? I have found some but nowhere near that price.

Fog lights
A driver can only use front or rear fog lights if it is difficult to see other vehicles or objects due to poor weather conditions (for example, heavy rain or fog). Fog lights cannot be used in clear weather conditions, whether it is day or night.
Section 217 of the Queensland Road Rules apply.[B]2005 VX V6[/B]

Spotted a Hilux this afternoon with a run of LED lights within the head lights, Just like the latest 200 series Landcruiser.
When "when" they bring them out for the 120 Series I will be replacing the yellowing head lights with them.
