I have lots of light on my van on 23 or so and I'm wonder what's the law for lights i want to add more to the van but i'm now get concerend about the law i would like to had 6 white light to the front 4 on the roof and two on the A bar also 6 more on the side to my rock sliders plus 6 extra back lights on my mud skirt the mud flap that runs all the way across at which point is it against the law i see trucks lite up like a Christmas tree with blue green every colour going on them and make me think it must be ok but I'm i wrong

Thanks oh any you can't miss me on the road picture below of my lightss

My head lamps are on dip so you can't see my yellow lamps and the beacon is on

The A bar with yellow lamp will be moved lower down and used as fogs

Lighting of Vehicles act 1963 states:

- All forward facing lights must be white/yellow
- all side lights amber (good vehicles etc
- Rear lights must be red.

All other lighting colours are illegal especially blue which are reserved for emergency vehicles only.
The law states that you must not fit any lights that may be a distraction to other road users.

It sounds like you have a lot of lights however, if they are not blinding or in any way distracting to other users you could be fine.

The fact that your auxilliary lamps are dippable would indicate that they may not be blinding, I would take into account the fact that they maybe higher up that the average road user and could blind them that way.

No lamp may be fitted to a vehicle which its illuminated part exceeds 4 feet 6inches from the ground.
