The car should have had a rear foglight fitted so as to pass its SVA (Single Vehicle Approval).

How long has the car been in the UK?

As for sorting it, it is not a major problem, just means fitting of a switch, and a foglamp and a simple bit of wiring.

No need for a bolt on light. TSL sell red bulbs for just this purpose, simply rewire your offside reversing light to a switch on the dashboard, you should have some blanked off switch spaces, then insert a red bulb in the light holder & hey presto, job done & no ugly bolt on light. Dont bother to try & interigate the wiring lume, simply run seperate wires through the car, it will be quite small & will go under the carpet etc.

One point to check & I dont know the answer, does the switch on the dashboard have to be the illuminating type to tell you the light is on

Cool

You can buy small (3mm/5mm/8mm) 12 volt LED's that look quite good to do the indicating bit if your switch doesn't have one. Choose from red, green, yellow, amber.
Electronics shops, RS Components, Rapid Electronics, the last 2 by mail order.
