you have an non-sport 4.4 and sport (!) 4.8... for the tire pressure monitor to work, you will need to pull the ABS module from the 4.8 and the center console module, the A169 module, from the 4.8, and install them into the 4.4 - the pressure is measured in the ABS module...
for the adaptive lights to work, you might want to pull BOTH, the instrument cluster and the LCM - theoretically, since both of them will come from the 4.8, they will NOT set off the tamper dot for the mileage but you still will have a WRONG VIN programmed into both modules, which will match to each other but not to the rest of the car...
with instrument cluster from the 4.8, you have a slightly different unit that reports more than just fuel economy and RPMs, it reports oil temperature (thus LCM from the 4.8 is needed) and variable redline, which is controlled by the engine computer... you can not swap the engine electronics, as the 4.8 is tuned far more aggressive than the 4.4 non-sport, and new "brain" can damage the engine/tranny of the car...
the 4.4 does not have headlight washers, they are usually standard in europe for xenon lights, so you might not have the xenons, on the 4.4, more reasons to pull the headlights from the 4.8, the front bumper, along with the power washers for the headlights, the windshield washer tank with the third pump for the headlights and hosing - the to activate the headlights washers, you will need to go into NCS coding, but in your case, you have to do the coding anyways...
things that you can not transfer over is the 4 corner air suspension...
to legalize the car in Egypt, do you have to pay taxes based on engine displacement? is the car registered to a diplomat? maybe you can do a waiver, if you have some connections - I would hate to see such a nice specimen of a 4.8iS being cannibalized due to some legal issues...
