Default Rear Light changes to import UK model to France

I am looking to import my 2008 XK to France. Great that there is a lever to adjust the headlamps to driving on the right. But there is only one fog light and that needs to be on the left of the vehicle... So I need to swap the inner rear clusters for the 'other side of the road', so that the reversing light is on the right and the fog light on the left. Does anyone know of a supplier in UK? (lots of US results come up, but complicated delivery, duty etc.). Thanks

Answering my own question - in case anyone else has a similar query. SNG Barratt UK were very helpful in giving me part numbers and referred me to French site where I can purchase.

You could always do the post-facelift 5.0 tail light swap while you're at it, instead of changing the old style for similar. That way you'd have both fog and reverse lights on each side.

Thanks, very interesting. Would that require changing the whole tail light assembly, or just the central units mounted in the boot lid?

The whole thing on both sides, but while you're at it anyway.........
The newer ones would require a resistance inline also, so warnings don't show on the dash.

And a couple relays, as the LED lights don’t like the pulsed signal that adequately drove the incandescent bulbs.
