Well, if in doubt read this: (Victorian based - Vicroads)

Regulations for fog lights and driving lights.

Front fog lights

May emit a white or yellow light.
Need to be operated independently of headlights.
Should only be used in hazardous weather conditions.

Rear fog light

Must emit a red light.
Should have an indicator light.
Must be at least 100 millimetres from brake lights.
Must only be used in hazardous weather conditions.

Driving lights

Must be wired to operate only when the headlights are on high-beam.
Are considered equivalent to headlights, so their use is illegal when driving within 200 metres of another road user.
Must emit a white light.

So, put that in your pipe and smoke it miata!

If you live in Vic, basically you can do what you want. That being said, what I dont understand is that if a vehicle meets ADR's and has driving/fog lights fitted, it would seem that laws in certain states contradict themselves. After all an ADR is an ADR and it has to pass a legal benchmark.

That's exactly what I said. Fog lights, used independantly and only in hazardous conditions. Driving lights are not fog lights. The old rule was that driving lights were not allowed at all in built up areas, that rule has been relaxed in areas where lighting is poor.
