They arent illegal....

In any state for that matter and alot of Ford dealers now have their advertising printed on them and fitted before you take delivery. They are an option on the Ford Website along with HSV and are Legal..

The only ones that are illegal are the mirror ones that distort the flashes ability to take a picture of the plate.

1000% spot on. They are totally legal , just picked up an ALTREX set and they clearly state on the packaging that they are legal in all states of Australia.
