So I need to find out some info on lights. I am sick of the dingy for lights and marker/running lamps in that housing. What is the best option / look? *Pics of yours would be good if you have suggestions. Of course I'd like led plate lights too but that seems to be a complicated situation.*
fog lights: http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm
xenonmatch lighting for it to closely match your xenons
or the endurance foglight bulbs for that JDM yellow fog look. (H8)
license plate lights: http://www.hoen-usa.com/licenseplate.htm
white incandescent or LED bulbs for the plates, not sure of the fitment; it says c5w. ..must have a resistor
The Hoen bulbs are great! Here is a pic of my MINI up front. I just ordered the Hoen W5W LED bulbs to replace the yellow city lights (the eyelids).

that looks great. those aren't the w5w LED parking lamps though right? just the super white h8's?
great pic too, perfect road for the shot!
Right, the W5W LED bulbs should be in sometime this week. That is just the Hoen H8 super white bulbs.

I have the Hyper yellow fogs from Nokya and when you have them on.. they are so bright yellow, that you don't even notice that the parking lights are a different color.. I'm only saying if you were concerned about noticing a difference...

Wolfeee's right. I have orange running lights and yellow fogs and when the fogs are on, you can't even see the running lights because they're so bright.
Just throwing another option out there in case others are interested. I rock amber for an old-school look.
Can your MINI be any lower??? Sweet ride and nice shot btw.....

I haven't installed the fog's yet and I thought there would be a difference so I ordered the parking lights lol I guess they'll be more yellow now. Thanks for the info!
ok i got them. whats the trick. i messed with them for a while and couldn't get the original bulbs out. more force? do i need the wheel off to get in there better? i just couldn't get either to turn counter clockwise as the book so easily describes
There is a pressure point on the bulb.. squeeze together and then turn (they don't tell you that in the book)... i also used a latex glove to get better grip.. GOOD LUCK!
