Bad idea, the light will shine on the hood and blind you.
The same thing if you mount them on the roof, you need to be sure they are mounted far enough back that the hood and windshield is in the dark.

No by the time you get them up off the hood, they will be in the trees.

You can put them up there, BUT you need to use an inverted bill like on a ball cap, this will keep the lower end darker. The bills are about 10" long, I've only seen them for round lights but rectangular should be no problem with a bit of sheet metal.
