    Thanks threedogs, I think I was looking at Western Australian rules, but they could have been a little out of date, I'd be keen to check out the link, since I'm planning on a light bar for my truck. Do you have the link mate?

    (Or if not does anybody else have the link threedogs is talking about)?
    93 GQ wagon, RB30, extractors, 2 inch tough dog lift, 5 spd, A/T KO2 32's, steel winch bar, rated recovery points, red arc dual battery set up, rhino roof racks, UHF etc etc. Slow and steady might not win the race but it gets me there eventually...

    Heres some brackets Ive used to mount a piece of perspex ,they look neat and if turned around
    you could mount a light bar,
    The best spot for a decent light bar is on the roof ,thats where my 240 watt job is.
    Trouble is you lose too much light if you mount them too low. Plus you need a spot beam only
    those with spread beam on the side are not worth it, a spot beam throws heaps of light sideways,
    combine that with some HID driving lights and you are in daylight

    Just a chinese one with epistar LEDS, it mounts via legs on each end.
    Mates recon its awesome, but not as white as the Narva [cree] and other brand names.
    Mine is spot only 30 degrees double row. I think the single row are 15 degree.
    I have two spare 36watt x 7" ones I might might sideways as setup lights.
    Ive since welded 2 brackets on the front of my ARB 3/4 copy roofrack, so its about 25mm off the roof

    @ Tonks you could mount that under a Rhino bar [aero]
    How many watts does a 30" bar have?
