Quick answer
Where can I find the NSW rules for driving lights and caravan 12V systems?
Transport for NSW publishes Vehicle Standards Information 64 covering aftermarket forward-facing lamps, and AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 governs electrical installations inside caravans and relocatable units. Wired Right summarises both in plain English below, including the four-lamp limit, the high-beam wiring requirement, and the 18 November 2023 date from which the caravan standard became enforceable.
