Depends on how high they are off teh road actually.

Up to a certain height they are fog lights, these must be wired such that they can only come be switched on with the headlights and must have a warning light of the switch. They should also only be used when visibility is under 100m (points and fine) but in reality plod do nowt about it as all teh young lads who drive round with them on shows. What makes me laugh is that they are usually 'performance modified' cars and by running extra lights and thumping great hifi amps you rob the engine by as much as 4-5 bhp

Over a certain height they are driving lights and must be wired to only come on with Main Beam. No warning light required as the main beam already has one.
