Lighting requires a fairly large response, but basically every light needs to be ADR complied and approved. The current plan is to buy brand new HELLA approved lights, excluding the indicators which i will be using motorcycle indicator stalks.
Main beam headlamp - reference for this is ADR 46/00. This is a mandatory requirement. It must be a white light, a minimum of 2 lights, maximum of 4 required at the front of the vehicle. There is no width or height specified, but must be symmetrical about the centerline of the vehicle. A BLUE indictor must be installed on the dash.
Dipped headlight - is also mandatory. It must be a white light and two only. Positioning requires that it be less than 400mm from the extremity of the vehicle and the inner edges more than 600mm apart.The height must be between 500mm and 1200mm. Again must be symetrical to the centerlkine of the vehicle.
Reversing Lamp - Mandatory, one or two lamps white light. No width specified, but positioning must be rear of vehicle between 250mm and 1200mm in height. Must only work when iginition is on and gear is in reverse.
Front indicator - two required and amber in colour. Must be greater than 40mm from outside edge of vehicle and less than 400mm from extremity of vehicle. They must me more than 600mm apart. Height from 350mm and no more than 1500mm. The light must flash in phase with the repeaters on the same side with a flash rate of 90 cycles per minute +/- 30 cycles per minute. If an indicator fails, the remaining lamps must either, substantially increase in frequency, remain lit or extinguish. A green tell tale must be displayed on the dash.
Rear Indicator - amber in colour and same requirements for flashing, failure state and tell tale. Positioning needs to be less than 400mm from extremity of vehicle, greater than 600mm apart and height between 350mm and 1500mm.
Side repeater indicator - amber in colour. 400mm from extremity of vehicle. Height must be between 350mm and 1500mm. Must be less than 1800mm from front of vehicle. Light must be visible from a 65 degree angle from behind and to side of vehicle
Hazard warning - must be linked to all indicators and switched seperately from indicators. The light must flash in phase with the repeaters on the same side with a flash rate of 90 cycles per minute +/- 30 cycles per minute. If an indicator fails, the remaining lamps must either, substantially increase in frequency, remain lit or extinguish. A seperate red tell tale must be displayed on the dash.
Stop lamp - two standard positioned lamps plus one center high mounted stop lamp. 400mm from extremity of vehicle. Height must be between 350mm and 1500mm at the rear of the vehicle.
Rear registration plate lamp - switched with parking lasmps and must illuminate the rear number plate sufficiently
Front position lamp (parking lights) - white. Positioning requires that it be less than 400mm from the extremity of the vehicle and the inner edges more than 600mm apart.The height must be between 500mm and 1200mm.
Rear position lamp (parking lamps) - red. Positioning requires that it be less than 400mm from the extremity of the vehicle and the inner edges more than 600mm apart.The height must be between 500mm and 1200mm.
Rear retro-reflector - rear of vehicle - red reflectors at rear of the vehicle. Less than 400mm from extremity of vehicle and between 350mm and 1500mm.
Centre high mounted stop lamp - red and centered on vehicle. 77mm below the bottom of the rear window (well for me this will be the roll bar.)
