Upgrading Stock Lights to HID or LED
Upgrading Stock Lights to HID or LED
Can this be accomplished on a 2017 Mini Cooper? Found a almost perfect car but no LED lights. Can the entire housing be upgraded on 2017? Does anyone have experience with this mod? Pls and thanks!

My 2017 Countryman All4 came halagon and to convert to LED's per Mini would cost a major house payment. Using Bimmercode, a Wifi for the OBD2 and LED canbus lights .. I converted for 'bout $300 (+/-) and still have the original headlight housings.

Thanks so much. Can you please tell me a little more about what you used etc? Please and thanks. Or perhaps how to do it.
Agreed on converting to the mini LED’s - those are $1250 a piece - LMAO - yes a house payment.

LED headlights are far and away the best thing on the newer MINIs. I can't imagine driving at night with old style lights. Even the HID of my Countryman are no match.
Fog lights are mostly not needed with the LED headlights for me.
I have OEM factory lighting, don't know how the after market ones compare.

Get the BimmerCode App via iPhone, Android or tablet and the program is free. I have it on my iPhone and the wife iPad. It cost <$30 for the activation code to have full access. (Before paying the activating price, play with it in Demo mode to get accustom to it first before activating. It help me understand.)
To make this work, you need to get a OBD2 adapter in Wifi. I bought: which was the $21 plus shipping. You plug this in, press the start button and tell your phone to switch it's wifi to it. Max range for it is roughly 5 or 6 feet. So be close.
1st thing I did after that was change my daytime driving light and parking lights in front before spending the bulk of money. Make sure you set the settings from bulb to led, and turn off the "warm and cold" warning monitoring settings. No dash warning bulbs were out after this action.
After this, I did the headlights. Same settings as prior lights.
I can't find the website I bought my H7's thru, (I looked at so may sites then) but they are sold everywhere. Usually around $100 per set maximum.
It's not that hard to do.
PS: As to your fog light question, not sure who your asking, I do not have fogs ... yet.
