Yes should be ok, as they will have fogs both sides.

Don't assume that though.

Many non-UK light sets only have one fog and it's on the wrong side for the UK.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

My inpros were blanked off but easy enough to make the hole and run the fog as per uk spec.

Yes, some sort of non-OEM rear lights will truly make you an induhvidual.
