Terranosaurus:
Its an urban myth dating back to some pretty old lighting laws that says roof lights are illegal.

There used to be a maximum height of 42" for main beam and "auxillary main beam lights" (no such thing as spot lights in law) but there no longer is - likewise the max height for fog lights used to be 24" but this too has been relaxed to 1200mm (higher than the old spot light max height)

Its all here - http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1989/Uksi_19891796_en_1.htm - not a straightforward read but simple enough when you find the relevant section to what you're looking for.
