Here's something to stir up. LED light bars now have to have covers in the middle when used in QLD, not actively enforced for 12 months though.

that complies with the distance requirement as closely as practicable.
In cases where a single LED light bar is fitted in the centre as one continuous light unit, the requirement to fit
driving lamps in pairs could be easily met by fitting an opaque cover plate at the centre of the light bar to
simulate the appearance of two separate light units. The width of such opaque dividing cover should be
enough to distinguish the arrangement as two separate light units. For example, the ability of an observer
standing 200m in front of the vehicle to perceive the light bar as two separate light units can be used as an
approximate guide.
