Just want to give you guys a heads up. We now have halogen => projector LED DRL headlights from spyder. These are in the F60 design for your R60/ R61. They are just like the halogen spyder ones fro the R56-R59 but these are for the R60 Countryman / R61Paceman. No Xenon to Xenon version yet.
But these take halogen H9 bulbs ( or if you want to do your own xenon/ led retrofit H9) Bi-halogen. This means they have 1 bulbs that has a flap like the Xenon factory system and when you use the highs, the flap moves up.
Bottom turn signal is standard P21 bulbs and this system is plug and play.
Sold as a Set:
PRO-YD-MCO11-DRL-BK **now we have Sonar direct for a lower price. Same as spyder.

No pics yet, these just came out, we are the first to have them. Should have some pics in the next couple weeks. Pretty much a F60 styled design for you R60/R61.

Projectors and for any stock H9 fitment bulbs. People use the spyder ones like the R55-R59 ( https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...adlight-2.html) or ( https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mini-r56.html) ones in halogen form and buy an aftermarket H9 xenon or LED retrofit kit and install them. We sell the H9 halogen bulbs, but we dont carry the retrofits for H9 bulbs in xenon / led.
Edit* we have now H9 LED bulbs here. They are not Canbus so you will have to code out the system so you will not get a bulb out error on the dash.

Why would you want to put a halogen bulb in a projector? Having retrofitted before, that would be like starting a fire with $100.00. There is no point other than wanting to have your lights look as if they are HID. Am I missing something here?
Also, Is the price on the ECS site of 1500+ for the OEM 25W retros correct? It seems there has been significant inflation. I found them for 1100 on WMW and that was just a cursory search. Maybe I am looking at the wrong product page.
Lastly, I am wondering what the OEM 35W lights would need to be retrofitted. If they have a ballast / ignitor, wouldn't a harness be the missing piece?
I definitely want to upgrade my kid's lights on his '12 R60, but will be smart about it all the same.

I have a pair of the Spyder halo headlights that just came in this week. I was wondering if the halo is really CCFL and not LED but it does have what is labeled as an LED inverter with the ED050-A1 part number.
They also have a label on them that says "HID bulb not allowed".

They are LED when I had seen them. Like the R56-R59 spyder style, they should have a bunch of little LEDs that the frosted plastic shield cover halo projects them look like one continuous halo.

So I went to the ECS site and there appear to be two identical projector upgrades, one Spyder one Sonar, the latter costing $150 less:
Spyder projector upgrade, $599
Sonar projector upgrade, $449.95
What's the $150 difference, aside from the chrome vs blackout options?
I really don't care about "look" and won't be adding an HID bulb. I know from past experience that a well designed projector is a light cannon even with a halogen bulb and I don't fetishize the HID blue look. I just want my wife and kids to be safer!
Thanks!

Nothing, one brand had it first and had a set price (but they were the first ones out), then the later brand had it cheaper. Then the chrome vs blackout versions.

Thank you! I guess this means I'll be earning a few entries in your very nicely upgraded A3 giveaway :-)

My wife's Countryman looks like this:
Two kayak carriers and a bike rack with a CooperCrap Hitch. She's about function over style; to her cars are things that go and tires are round black things. Aside from that she's awesome
(Still kicking myself for missing the JCW bodywork clearance on my old R55S. On the other hand that car was a money pit anyway! 🤣)

Spyder aftermarket headlights or the OEM MINI Xenon retrofit kit?

2 quick (and I'm sure, easy) questions!
I have a 2014 Countryman All 4 S, and am upgrading from the halogen bulbs and assemblies that came with the car when I bought it, to Bi Xenon.
1) Do the xenon bulbs come with this kit?
2)I guess I don't have a second question.
Thank you!
This is the set I'm referring to:
"Xenon Headlight Black 25 W - Set 63102289650 & 63102289651
http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/63102289650KT/ "

I remembered my 2nd question: How about when/if the bulb burns out? Is there an easy option for replacement bulbs?
