Frequently Asked Questions

The legality of light bars on 4WDs and cars will depend on the state or territory in which you live. In general, light bars must be installed in a way that does not obstruct the driver's view or distract other drivers on the road. As a rule of thumb, it is legal to fit up to 4 LED additional light bars and driving lights provided they meet the following conditions:

  • The lights are fitting in a way that does not obstruct the forward view of the driver
  • They do not increase the likelihood of injury to a pedestrian making contact with the front of the vehicle
  • The light output does not directly or indirectly cause discomfort or limit the vision of oncoming traffic
  • They remain switched off when the high beam is not activated
  • They switch off when the high beam is dipped

As specific rules can vary from state to state, it is important to check the regulations in your area before installing a light bar.

Light bars can vary in brightness depending on the size, wattage, make and model of light bar. However, in general, LED light bars are brighter than standard light bars, providing increased visibility and safety when driving off-road or in low-light conditions.

The main difference between a standard and LED light bar is the type of bulb used. Standard light bars use halogen bulbs, which are less efficient, have a shorter lifespan and emit a warmer colour temperature than LED bulbs. LED light bars are more energy-efficient, have a substantially longer lifespan, and are cooler and brighter than standard light bars.
