I'm sorry to hear about your problems with the EU-control. They're famous for making problems and headache for the owners of US-cars in our potatoe-country.
I always connect my sidemarkers and amber parkinglights on my amcars, so I've had a couple of heated discussions with the uniforms over the years.
I've been pulled over for my US light setup, but it seemed to be OK when BMW and Volvo introduced the same setup a couple of years ago.....
If your lights are DOT/SAE marked they should have been approved. I think the regulations was softened a bit some years ago.
Here is a link to lovdata.no. Take a look at §28-1, 3b)

For the brushguard I guess you're doomed. I suggest you remove it and reinstall it after the EU.
I acually had the same problem as you when they didn't find the VIN-number on the frame on my Suburban. The VIN behind the windshield is not good enough for our car experts at vegvesenet. The VIN also needs to be stamped on the frame/chassis of the car. I had to go to my local vegvesen office so the could look at my car and issue a piece of paper, which stated that my Chevy-dealer had permission to mark the VIN on the right side framerail.
Good luck and sorry for my highschool English.... :wub:
