You can use them off road... that's the point ;-)

I did fancy one of those half roof racks (or is that Bikini rack) myself for the RRC, just to put waffles etc on, but given the is-it/isn't it over legallity and the fact that I have to watch the weight I've decided not to bother for now.

The copper was probably thinking of the '1200 mm rule', whereby headlamps must be no more than 1200 mm above the ground. This only applies to dip beam lamps.
The only requirement for main beams and driving lamps ('optional' main beams) is that they must have a 'tell-tale' fitted, must not be outboard of the dip beams, and should be fitted in pairs.
Statutory Instrument 1989 No. 1796 (The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989) Schedule 5 (Regulations 18 & 20) refer.
The other regulation to worry about is the 'catch-all' about dazzling other road users ...
I actually have an isolation switch on mine, which resets to 'off' every time the keys are removed from the ignition.
