This previous thread is along the same lines, but was referring to headlights Here

I guess you can pretty much put them anywhere you want, providing they meet the required angles of visibility.

Have a look at this Atom and see how they pushed the headlamps back.



It would be up to you to convince the SVA inspector that they could be seen from the front and sides.

There is a seperate reg somewhere, something like http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1989/Uksi_19891796_en_1.htm that.
