Boxster S rear fog lamp

Has anyone any ideas. I am currently reregistering my Boxster S in Spain. I have just been for the ITV inspection (MOT) and it has passed except for the rear fog lamp. Apparently the fog lamp on the passenger side has to work and ours obviously doesn’t as it is rhd. Has anyone had to overcome this problem and if so what sort of job was it?

Rear fog lamp is always required on side of car nearest middle ot the road.

Spain is not requiring both, just the legal position for left hand drive, which is left.

Your tail light consists of plastic lens and metal bulb holder fitting behind the lens. Looking at your right bulb holder and comparing it to the left one you can observe the extra bulb and where it is located. If there is a socket in that location on the left bulb holder, you're halfway there. Otherwise you require a different left bulb holder. Then of course you can re route the bulb and the wiring from right to left.
