The original question was - is it illegal to have LED lights on the spoiler. If they ring the department they can still tell them the rules, regardless of state or federal - WA still has national standards to comply with. It would be alot more definitive than asking people on the forums. Another one to try http://www.dotars.gov.au/

Pulp....I don't know where you are getting your info from but its wrong. The ADR's rule over any reg the state has......States do not have regs that contradict these...the cop in question doesn't know what they are talking about....

Yeah I'll have to find it again, I read a whole list of rules re: FMIC etc etc and that I'm sure was one of them, about fog lights. I'll see if I can find it.

Hey ant95GTR, I found this thread, but theres a bit about FOG lights.

"Fog Lights - *if they are standard with the vehicle * Australian Design Rules (ADR) says that you CAN drive with your fog lights on BUT the Road Traffic Code says that you can NOT drive with your fog lights on."

Yep according to ADR's you have to have a high mount brake light.

If you are fitting a spoiler without one you have to fit one in your rear window.

I don't know how strict cops are with this in this state.

Yup...Ant is right. You have to have a high mounted stop light. If not built into the spoiler, then on the rear window. I dont have a brake light in my spoiler, so had to have one at the rear window

      @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline

      Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best.

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
