    The way you have it installed is legal.
    It must be wired to a switch, which is also triggered by high beams. So the light can only come on when that switch is ON, and you have your high beams on.

    I use mine night driving, turn off on main roads or near houses.

    Hard to see from the angle of the piccy but if part of the Light Bar protrudes in front of, or is higher than the Front Bar, or if any gap is large enough to catch an extremity of a pedestrian you just mashed then it is technically illegal.

    Would be unlikely to get Constable Plods' attention unless you were being a tosser tho...

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    So It's only a Nissan Nudge Bar does that count when hitting Pedestrians = lol

    Does it hurt if you jump off it and land on their spleen? :-)

    I reckon Front Bars should come with an inertia loaded piece of round stock that swings out under heavy braking and cracks Pedestrians across the shins when they step out in front of a vehicle they didn't see 'cause they are too busy texting
