All dash lights work as far as I know

Normal and nothing wrong that there is a bulb position that does nothing in the body lights. Originally tail lights were on the body but when they were moved to the bumper the body tail lights were disabled. Yes there is an active tail light wire there and it is possible to reconnect it. I've done it on mine.

As stated, this is normal. You may also find one of them is a rear fog light (button the left of the dash behind steering wheel) if its fitted to your model.

They removed the body lights after putting some in the bumper so as to meet ADR's. There is some rubbish about having too many rear facing lights in there. Reconnecting them is "illegal" from what I understand. Though I don't know of anyone that has been done for it. Its a stupid rule either way.

I was told by the LR dealer that it was because of the sideways swinging door. If you're parked on the side of the road and open the back door, the door blocks view of the right hand tail light for cars coming towards you. If it's in the bumper, it will still be visible.

It's my understanding that as an option you could get a light fitted to tailgate for when open.
If you look you can see the rubber plug where light would fit

In the bumper you have indicators and tail lights.
In the pillar there is places for 4 globes each side currently I have 3 each side and there is 6 wires coming out of the plug so I would assume I should have 4 working globes per pillar.
So currently starting from the top I have
brake works
empty no globe holder or anything (tail light or indicator would be my guess)
reverse works
bulb never lights up (again tail light or indicator would be my guess)

Not actually sure if any are meant to be indicators as my lens covers are all red

You should also have indicators in the pillar lights.

Not sure about everyone else's, but my rear indicators are definitely in the bumper.

tail, indicators = bumper
brake lights, fog lights = body pillar

Am I missing any?
