New Nevada Clubman Owner



Just wanted to say hi! Really happy to be a new Mini owner! Just got my ride back after three days of modding in the shop...so pumped

Best,
Blake

Hi! Yep...the rally lights, black halo headlight inserts, 18" Enkei's, sport antenna, window tinting...think those are the major additions for now

I'll have to take more pics. The "best" one I have is already in the thread. I got them from TunersDepot.com based in CA.

The good: they look sick, pretty straight forward install (if you are decent with car electrical wiring). $350 for the pair and decent customer service.

The bad: they are not that bright as highlights alone...hence my rally light kit. Something does not match up right with the plug and the high beam function is funky (can flash, but does not stick on). Again, I don't care, because of the rally lights...much brighter.

I had them installed the the dealership to avoid frustration. I will take more pics if you like. I can give you more info if you need it. I'd be happy to help.

So, tell me if I'm understanding.
You have to open up the sealed headlight unit.
The halo then attaches to the exterior of the xenon fixture.
Wires then attach to existing lighting harness. Drilling? (not plug and play)
They turn on with the DRLs, but yours affect the high beam function.

Do they turn off when the headlights go on?
Do you get any bulb out warnings?
I would have to have the high beam issue worked out. I don't have those rally lights!

VERY nice looking!!!!

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. The lights are a complete pair. You remove the stock lights and put these in there place. There is some "plug and play" and some extra wiring needed to get the LEDs and Halos working. Something does not match up with the plug, which is where I think the high beam issue is coming from. I have a 2012, so a different year Mini might not have the same issues. But, I don't know for sure.
