I was looking for a way to "be seen" by the numptys that pull out in front of bikes..
Changed the front park light bulb for a blue one as I thought it might stand out a little more..
Considering the headlight is always on anyway.. I didnt think it would be too obvious, maybe just catch the attention of an otherwise sleeping driver...
Anyway.. I wondered if this is going to attract the attention of the law instead..
Any thoughts? (Does it just look stupid??)
Not sure which state you're in, Fish, but the South Oz version would be similar to other states , I reckon. Might be inviting the attention you did not necessarily set out to achieve!
Lighting and instrumentation
Lighting
Additional lighting systems are to be fitted strictly in accordance with South Australian legislation and must be marked to be compliant to Australian Design Rules.
You may fit up to a maximum of four additional lights, in pairs, provided the lights show a white beam only.
Lights fitted must not affect the driver's view and must be mounted symmetrically. Additional driving lights must extinguish automatically when low beam is selected.
All headlamps must be mounted at the front of the vehicle.
Front fog lights
A pair of fog lights, showing a beam of white or yellow light may be fitted to the front of a motor vehicle with the centres no higher than the top of the dipped beam headlight.
The lights must be mounted symmetrically not less than 600mm apart.
Fog lights must be capable of being switched on and off independently of any headlights and must only be able to be switched on when the parking lights are on.
Fog lights can only be used in fog or conditions with reduced visibility.
Coloured lights
Coloured under-car neons lighting systems are not approved. A vehicle can not show coloured light other than what is specified in the Road Traffic (Light Vehicle Standards) Rules 2013, and the Australian Design Rules.
Red and blue lights are only allowed on emergency vehicles - eg police, fire and ambulance.
Red lights and reflectors must only face rearward of the vehicle.
White lights and reflectors must face forwards.
Yellow/amber lights are permitted for indicators, fog lights and for side clearance lights on large vehicles and buses. With the exception of indicators, amber flashing lights are not permitted on any vehicle, other than special vehicles used in hazardous situations and emergency vehicles.
Replacement headlight bulbs must display compliant Australian Design Rules or equivalent markings.
Daytime running lamps
Daytime running lights are bright white forward-facing lights that improve the visibility of a vehicle in the daytime.
