Beam benders,
No need for foglights to be moved that I know of.

If the mh is an A-class and has dip beam units LIKE THIS they can be changed from dipping to the right to dipping to the left and vice versa.

Front fog lights - no problem
Rear fog lights - if 2 (one each side) no problem. If only 1 it should be on the right-hand side (off side - side closest to the middle of the road). Strictly speaking, it's a fail if it's on the wrong side (the left-hand side - near side). 1 in the middle is also legal.

Fog light on the left side ...

You need to change it to the right hand side.
You probably have a single reversing light on the other side so it's just a matter of swapping them over. If it's in a cluster swap the complete clusters, that's what continental manufacturers do when building for the righthand drive market. From a wiring point of view all that needs to be done is reroute / extend the fog light and reversing light circuits.
