I was wondering in a 93 XJ sport when your looking at the steering wheel there is the part time and full time four wheel indicator lights on the left side what is on the right side of the gauge cluster in the same space. it looks like there should be lights behind it but i have never seen any. any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, also just the clock on my 93 limited. My clock was burnt out, so I just fitted one of those little time, date, weather station thingies there.

its so interesting to see a right hand drive
is it awkward to reach over to engage transfer case?

I had a friend of mine bring over a right hand drive XJ when he moved back to the USA, it was so weird, I would always go to the wrong side whenever we went everywhere, he would joke and say, you want to drive?

Yeah I know what you mean. A couple of years ago I visited chicago, and hired a car. Kept getting in the right hand side with the ignition key in my hand and staring at the glovebox like a muppet!.
As for the transfer lever, its not too awkward to reach, just a bit of a stretch - and its ok in my 93 cause it has the 242 full time t-case. You just select 4x4 and forget it. But my 98 has the 231 part-time only transfercase, and if youve got someone in the passenger seat you can end up rubbing their knee and thigh a lot with the back of your hand as you shift in and out of 4 wheel drive.. which can be a bit weird depending on how well you know them!.
