If you consult the fitting instructions on any RING product it states quite clearly that additional marker lights (sidelights, like the angle eyes) are only legal in Germany, in the UK we are allowed one pair of sidelights and one pair of dipped beams.  In addition we are allowed 6 lamps to be illumintaed at any one time for our main beam.


That maybe so. But the Op was asking about Roof lights which are classed as additional spotlamps not sidelamps.

"so that when i have my side lights on they are half power or quarter power just a glow really like marker lights " is what he wrote

I read it as meaning that when his side lamps were on the spots would be on half or quarter power. If I assumed rightly then what he would have would be, his side lights on and what amounts to very dim spotlamps on the roof. There nothing in the regs that say the lights have to be bright. Whether having them illuminated at all, on a road is legal or not is a different question altogether! but one he can easily circumvent by having all the lamps switched independantly of the vehicles lighting.

I think we are going round in circles here, so at the the risk of repeatring myself

It's illegal

It will result in premature failure of the bulbs

and yes it is possible
