you will get a better response in the technical section

I'm sure one of the mod fairies will move it!

The only difference between the LHD and RHD tail lights is which way round the foglight & revers light is. - What you need to do is break out the red reflector on the passenger side - and fit a red bulb to the bottom one of the drivers side - job done!

or better still they will just reply LMAO

just change the bulb on the drivers side to a red one and youll be ok. youll probably still get them as an advisory for the MOT, i did.

so by breakin the reflector that thn becomes the reverse light right??

or you could do it properly and remove the pin for the reverse light on one side of the loom and swap it for the fog on the other side. No need to smash anything, just re-routing wires.

Thats still a fail as the foglight has to be on the drivers side or in the middle of the car - not on the left!

Yep!

Or do as most people do - rattle the originals in for the MOT!

Wouldn't police possibly stop you if it isn't converted to rhd or not? if so it is worth the hassle to change them.
