If you fit a pair of spotlights then they don't need to be wired independent of the headlight circuit, if you fit a lightbar then it does need to be independent.

That’s true. They can be wired to the high beam switch provided they do not come under the classification of a work light. My understanding is that they then must have approved safety standard and a high beam pattern.

Yep, thats right. Most decent spotlights will have good enough beam pattern and the standards markings on them as well
