AutoExec Summary
Adding additional lights to a vehicle can greatly improve safety by providing better visibility at night and in adverse weather conditions. However, laws regarding the installation of these lights vary by state in Australia. Different states have different regulations regarding the number, placement, and operation of additional lights on vehicles. It is important to ensure that any added lights comply with the specific laws in the state where the vehicle is being driven. Some general guidelines include ensuring the lights do not obstruct the driver’s view, are only used in conjunction with high beams, and do not cause discomfort or dazzle other road users.
