I don't know what the latest rules are but if I were you I would put the light covers on and secure them with black insulating tape to stop them falling off (as a responsible owner would) and smile nicely at the tester.
On a separate note I was so sorry to hear of your problem with the V12 and hope you find a simple solution. I must admit I cannot understand how turning an engine backwards would cause a problem as I have been doing this on MGs for years to adjust points / tappets etc. but then again I have never worked on a V12 (my own XJS is a 3.6 straight 6).

It's got to do with the how the timing chain tensioner operates. Rotating the engine backwards puts the tensioner under strain in the wrong direction and can cause it to fracture.
I was pulling down my spare 6.0L and inadvertently turned the engine backwards slightly, when I got to the tensioner is was broken.
On my 5.3L in the car I turned it backwards 180° 10 or so years ago and this engine is still in the car and going strong.
Nice to hear. Here in Germany the TÜV would want to see the lenses if they are still wired up. So mine are both cracked but the covers are good. I'll just cut the wire behind the light (they are rusty as hell as well) and drive with them like that.
The foglights look weird anyway probably the only part of the car I don't really like... They could have been integrated into the lower sections of the wings or in the chin spoiler (like Volvo in the 740).
