I guess as you are new here you need a few posts to send you PM, but I can sent here my ebay listing if you will be interested.

Please could you post the link? Thank you.

There appears to be two lower lights on the lower valance. They look clear, but they light up red when the fog switch is on. They look way to small for EU spec. I’ve not found out where the reverse lights are yet.

I think that for the conversion these could become the reversing lights and the upper clusters driver side would become the fog?
1) for the headlights I suggest you find some thread here about differences or start a new one. Your headlights ends with "EK", the Euro versions I see everywhere is "EG". But I am not sure if there is any significance, something that would not pass
2) fog lights + reverse lights should be fine, there are two designs, split (larger one) and combined led (what you have), both fine and I think these are global

I decided to try a pair of overlays off of ebay, $109 from China pre tariff. Taped on to see how they look and look good. As with all overlays how well will they stay on.

I ran 800 grit sand paper over my lens and painted them with tint spray and when I got the darkness I wanted, I then put clearcoat on them so washing the car will not remove the tint.
Bonus is, that I can remove with polishing compound if I ever get tired of it (yeah right!).
