Any1 know the laws on roof lights regards to linking them to main beam or does it have to be on a switch and how does it effect on the MOT does it have to be on a switch etc thanks

Disco Matt:
Nobody seems to be entirely sure! I have read that they're ok providing that you don't have more than six lights (so two headlights and up to four driving lights) and that they're under 60w each. I doubt you'd get any hassle so long as you weren't being an idiot with them. Go around built up areas with them on, or blinding oncoming traffic, and you'll get pulled over. Use them respectfully and you're not likely to have any bother.

I've wired mine via a switch and make sure they're not in circuit come MOT time. No problems as yet.

Range Rover Blues:
Not heard the one about placement behind the front axle, thanks Saffy.

I do know the limit is 6 lights on at once (you can fit what you like) mounted symetrically which I think menas even numbers unlike the Italian Job Minis and no more than 99 watts each I read somewhere.
