Dual Row LED Light Bar for a Late Model Toyota LandCruiser

Off-road night driving made easy with dual row LED lightbar

Installing and wiring a dual row LED light bar to this LandCruiser means its owner can now take advantage of greater light for night driving, especially on dark country roads.

Light bars and spot lights are wired via the high beam circuit and an independent switch. This allows the light bar or spot lights to switch off automatically when the high beam is turned off, preventing shining bright lights at oncoming traffic.

We've used a Toyota-style lightbar switch to fit it into the factory dash switch panel.

What are the legal requirements for driving with auxiliary LED lights and lightbars in Western Australia?

There are rules to be aware when using approved LED lights and light bars in WA. Any additional driving lights fitted to a vehicle must be designed and securely fitted in a way that:

minimises the likelihood of injury to a person making contact with the vehicle in an unfortunate event of a crash with a pedestrian;
does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road and traffic to the front or side of the vehicle;
the light emitted does not cause discomfort to the driver either directly or indirectly through devices for indirect vision and/or other reflecting surfaces of the vehicle; and
must remain switched off when high beam headlights are not in operation; and
must automatically switch off when high beam headlights are either turned off or the headlamps are dipped.
