lighting regulations specify 2 dipped lights maximum. Additional lights are either driving lamps, and must go out when on dip, or fog lamps, not to be used except in conditions of severely reduced visibility (ho fecking ho).
but for off-road use, please yerself, of course.
Mind you, I dunno if you'd fail an MOT with more than 2 dipped lights.
You can, in fact, have 4 dipped lights: it's acceptable to have left- and right-dipping ones, but only one pair must operate at any one time. This is for things that regularly go onto the continent, to save faffing around with beam correctors.
Cibie super oscars or similar!!!
I wish I could have said it as elegantly as Austin, but that's the sort of reason I had at the back of my mind somewhere.

Yep. Look for the pattern to be described as "H4", which is the standard main-and-dip halogen lamp.
And be sure to be sitting down when they tell you the price :-)
Oh yeh. and a 90amp alternator to drive 'em

there's a limit to how shallow you can have main/dip lamps, which is dictated by the length of the bulb. You could use 2 spots and 2 fogs, train the fogs down enough to make 'em qualify as "dipped", and then have the spots as well for "main".
