How to choose driving lights and light bars

Extra driving lights are legal in Victoria, within limits on how many you fit, where they go and how they're switched. Here's how to choose a set that's bright where you need it and road legal.

  1. Four extra, at most

    You can fit up to four additional driving lights, and an LED light bar counts as one of them (VSI 8). Pairs must be at the same height and face forward.

  2. Wired to high beam

    Driving lights must only come on with your high beam and go off with it. Dip within 200 m of oncoming traffic or a vehicle you're following.

  3. Where they go

    A single light bar must sit on the centreline. Lights can go above the roof line if they're in the front half of the vehicle, and on a bull bar they must sit behind its front face.

  4. Spot, flood or combo

    A spot beam reaches far down the road, a flood lights a wide area close in, and a combo does some of both. Lux at a distance tells you more about reach than total lumens (Narva).

Choosing the right light bar

Start with beam pattern, not size. Spot beams throw light a long way down the road and suit open highway touring. Flood or double row bars spread light wide, which helps on tight bush tracks where roos come from the side. A combo beam, like the Lightforce 20 inch combo, gives you both in one housing and is the safe pick if you only run one bar.

Size and mounting come next. A 10 inch bar such as the Lightforce Viper tucks neatly into a bull bar or behind the grille, while 20 to 42 inch bars typically mount across the bull bar or on brackets above the bumper. Check the mounting width you actually have before buying, and think about wiring. A plug and play harness like the HardKorr dual output unit saves a lot of mucking around and keeps the install tidy.

Legality matters too. In most states, including Victoria, light bars must be wired so they only operate with high beam, must not obstruct your view or the number plate, and roof mounting rules vary by state. If in doubt, ask us before you buy and we will steer you right.

Common questions

Are light bars legal in Victoria?

Yes. A light bar counts as one of up to four additional driving lights. It must be white, face forward, sit on the vehicle's centreline if it's a single bar, and only work with high beam (VSI 8; Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2021).

How many driving lights can I fit?

Up to four additional lights, light bars included (VSI 8).

Do they have to be wired to high beam?

Yes. In Victoria, driving lights may only switch on when your high beam is on and must turn off with it (VSI 8).

Are amber or coloured covers legal?

Not on the road. Lamp covers must be clear, untinted, uncoloured and clean (VSI 8).

Do I have to cover my lights when I'm not using them?

There's no Victorian rule that says you must cover them. What matters is that they only work with high beam and that you dip them for other road users.

Lux or lumens: which matters?

Lumens measure the total light a lamp puts out. Lux measures how much light lands on the road at a distance, so the distance at which a beam still gives 1 lux tells you more about how far it reaches (Narva).
