DOT WA has just issued a bulletin (6th August) allowing an exemption for the use and fitment of light bars in WA. ADRs stipulate that additional headlights must be fitted in pairs but this inadvertently prohibited the fitment of light bars, hence the issuing of the light bar exemption (valid for 3 years).
Casual observation of where most light bars are currently being fitted would suggest that most vehicles could be considered unroadworthy.
Below are examples of what will be legal and what wont, so if you have a light bar anywhere on top of the roof or above the front edge of the bonnet you might be in a spot of bother.

Illegal
What happens at the end of the 3 year exemption period remains unclear.
