:cry ok then.
Im sure there is plenty of locations to put them. I got a whole car body to choose. Perhaps horizontal, pertruding from the sides of the rollbar, (so
its legal height). But then the car may be too wide. hmmm.
Gotta think about it. I want them though.

What about the big 4x4s that have them on top.
Surely thats greater than 1.4 metres.
Is that illegal for them?

I think you will find that there are a lot of illegal fitments to cars in every state.....it just needs someone to police it and pull them over. Yes,
I reckon that if the law says about fitment no higher than 1.4m as was suggested earlier, then they must be illegal, just not picked up yet.
Play it safe, you don't want to attract attention to people who may find more than just the lights wrong with your car. Whack spotties on a bar at
the front, etc...it will still shine the way for you.

might be the same deal as air horns, not legal for use on public roads, but are allowed for shows or private property as long as you have a standard
horn aswell, look into it chris, you might be able to do it?

also light smounted up there, can generate large amounts of glare form the bonnet and bull bar.

true. Might just slap them on the front bar. It sux a bit. Even by not putting them on a buggy, and slapping them on a beautifully beefy offroad 4x4
ute would be cool.
But, we just gotta live with it. Yeah, the glare would be pretty high. I will just invest the money I was planning to use on hela lights on interior
neons instead.
UNLESS THEY ARE ILLEGAL TOO. I'm gonna be pissed if they are.

Fancy them cutting your lights on your F100. Dam I luv those big utes, especially the Ford F250. How do they go on offroad?

Interior neons? Better off putting the money into better tyres or suspension mods, not useless crap.

Ah, its not really useless. Its called interior lighting, so you can sorta see what your pressing, or for the passengers to see what they are
doing.
And it also looks good, and looks are not useless. Looks shows personality, colour and makes it stand out. When it comes to looks, would your rather
be in a shitty looking 1970 ford laser, rusted and gutless (not dissing rats, but I believe old ford lasers suk bigtime), or a beautifully looking
modern day sports car (say a Holden avalanche ute or a ford F250 etc etc. or a rice burner)
SO YEAH, i think you would go for the better look. So don't diss'em, cause when your in a situation of lighting, anyone who has taste would choose
whateva looks better.

HELL NO. I'm trying to be creative by doing this. Im trying to strive for individuality.
hence why I want a buggy + i do need so form of interior lighting (ever a plain light bulb or a neon tube).
I don't want some street, run of the mill rice burner that everyone else wants. Being an art student, the strive for individuality, creative thought
and originality is my life philosophy.
If i could (legally), to strive for individuality, i would put tank catipillars on my buggy, just for the originality. [but i can't afford to buy it,let alone bribing the inspector to approve it, he he]
Don't worry man, I'm goin the original way, ALL THE WAY. No common commodore for me, no common ford for me, no common jap, plastic car for me. a
good old vw in an original, yet immaculate and modern fashion. [My dream is also to shove in a scooby doo engine, if i can scrounge up some money,making my buggy more of an individual.]
Its alright champ, i will make u proud. Wait a couple of years and my pride and joy of originality will be created and will turn heads so far that
there neck would break. (not really, of course)
Screw the majority. Like what is said by Living End:
"I wanna be minority, something something majority blah blah"
:blah

Neons: No F**king Way. i can understand it on a street dub but on an offroad beast, nah uh. People will laugh at you like that "Pimp my peice of
shit" baja. lava lamps *shudders*
Massive spotties: Nice to have but like a stereo, there's better and more important things to spend money on. My spotties are small ones from
SuperCheap at a $100 and work well.
Prioritys (in my opinion): Motor, running gear, suspension, tyres, body mods, brakes, and that's all I can think of at the moment.
And as I once said: "Blah blah blah, blahblah blah blah, blah blah.:duh

Mood: What the crap?
on the front bumper the two outer lights are the driving lights I have to suplement the Halogen sealed beams in the guards. Work good for 98% of
driving, around town and so on. In the middle half covered by the liscence plate ziptied on is the spotties I mentioned. I've only used them on
backroad, and out bush, in country and work real well. But they only get used evey now and then. You could get away with not having them till you've
got everything else you want sorted out.
My next one i'm gonna set up with halo sealed beams mounted in the guards/on a bracket behind guards, dunno which yet and two aircraft landing lights
mounted into nacelles in the bonnet, with some big spotties on the bumper. Should work real good I reckon.

Well, instead of having big hela lights, if i had a baja instead of a buggy, could i place another set of the same head lights on the roof, instead of
Hela ones.
Like this baja?:
