As an ex mot tester!
Roof lights will pass an mot, you can have as many as you want and stick em where you want, have them as powerful as you want. As long as they're not dangerous to pedestrians or other road users and turned off they are not an mot item!!! So can't fail it!
The police have a different view! For road use they cant really be higher than your headlamps, no more powerful than your standard headlamps, must be fitted as a pair and spaced correctly. If they are driving lamps they must only work with main beam and you should be able to turn them off.
In short, roof lights are illegal to use on the road but you can have them fitted and use them off road. Same goes for bonnet pods if they are above your headlamps, you can have them but not use them.
I would imagine if people keep using them they will probably become part of the mot cos of all the moaning do gooders out there! It happened with tinted windows!
