2011 Rear&Fog Lights

Hi Guys,
I changed my stock bodykit to JCW bodykit (v2)
But as you guess my car is updated version and my rear lights "was" on the rear bumper instead of tail lights.
before I changed the bumper, I haven't noticed that my stock rear&fog lights will not fit to my new bodykit.
Now my precious mini hasn't got any rear and fog lights on it..
I'm gonna buy Fog lights with rear

I couldn't find where to give an order.
Do you have an idea?

actually I don't want a rear light because it's look bad, one side red, the other is white and red...
I thought I'll buy a pair of 2010 fog lights (all red) and put an extra bulb for rear? I Don't care the rear gear's light color.

What you think?

I'm confused about your comments. Don't you just switch your rear bumper and move your current fog lights to the new bumper?

No problem, in English it is called the backup or reverse light.

In your old posts, you said you have a 2008 MCS. Do you now have a 2011? I assumed you are installing the JCW bodykit on a 2008. If you are installing the bodykit on a 2011, I understand what you are talking about.

Can you live without a reverse light and not see at night? It is possible to have a reverse light on both sides (no fog light). That's the configuration here in the USA with the 2011 JCW bodykit, if the car doesn't have rear fog (it is optional here).

rkw, thanks for your time.
I've sold my 2008 mcs last year. Now I have 2011 JCW.
I changed my bodykit with the JCW bodykit (but that bodykit is not for the 2011 models.)

I can live without reverse light. Don't care to see at night because I have a parking sensors. BUT when I'm trying to park, other drivers can't understand and they keep approching.

I can't live without fogs because I'm travelling around the mountains and my car looks good with that lights..

I have to choose "just" fog lights or fog lights with reverse light..
other options are;
buy a pair of fog lights and put an extra bulb for reverse (it'll light up red)
or
wait for the lights that I linked the picture of it on my first message..
