However as usual, a bored 'hero in blue' might decide to take you to task just to see if they can wind you up enough to get you for something else.
Ahen, alledgedly...

Unlikely, as we are usually eating doughnuts or playing car snooker.
Seriously though, to the best of my knowledge the only regs in relation to auxilary lights is that that musn't be fitted or used in such a way to cause dazzle or annoyance to other road users.
The usual Ereg marks will probably apply to the bulbs and lenses, but in all honesty you would have to be seriously unlucky to find a copper who would want to go that far. I mean, I'd rather be catching proper criminals like burglars, speeding Chief Constables and Labour politicians, particularly those that work in the Home Office.
Not that I'm biased, of course.

--- Quote from: "V8MoneyPit" ---According to Wipac, the regulations for driving (not fog) lamps are as follows:
"Driving lamps can only be used with main beam headlights and must be extinguished when headlights are on dipped beam. Driving lamps should be fitted at a maximum of 1200mm from the ground to the upper edge of the lens and a minimum of 500mm from the ground to the lower edge of the lens. Pairs of lamps must be at least 600mm apart measuring from the inner edges of their lenses and not more than 400mm from the edge of the vehicle to the outer edge of the lens."
The 1200mm maximum height blows out any use of roof lights on the road. Although the minimum of 500mm seems to contradict vehicle manufacturers fitting lamps in the front spoiler.... or are these fog lights?
I am assuming this is an extract from the construction and use regulations.
