Again, it depends on what year your donor was first used or manufactured whether you need to fit rear fog lights and how many you can or must have -

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1...hedule/11/made

Short version:

Vehicle first used before 1st April 1980 or manufactured before 1st October 1979 = None required by law, but you can fit as many as you like (and they can even all be different styles if that floats your boat) so long as: they're red; they're not wired to come on with the brake lights; if there's more than one they must be at least 100mm apart.

Vehicle first used on or after 1st April 1980 or manufactured on or after 1st October 1979 = minimum one to be fitted to the rear centreline or off-side, and maximum of two must be fitted and are subject to all the other requirements listed in the schedule.

Vehicle first used on or after 1st April 1986 = if two are fitted they must be a matched pair.

I'm guessing your donor fits into the post 1980 category, so a single 'rain light' could legally be fitted on the centre line of the vehicle so long as it complies with the rest of the regulations.
