LED Driving/Rally Light Covers

Do the LED driving/rally light covers (white ones with black X in the middle) fit the standard MINI Halogen rally lights? I haven't been able to find a clear answer... I attached the link of what Im talking about.

Yes, they are not an exact fit the halogen, but you could use some double sided tape or possibly mod them to work.

ok.. so i forgot about these covers until this thread popped up so i decided to see what the deal with them actually is..

the "they don't quite fit" thing..
the diameter is great and they fit over the lights nicely. there's nothing that you have to "make fit".
they are however a tad lose and this can be easily taken out with either double sided tape, or shimming the clips around the covers. neither the covers or your lights need to be modified/hacked/ground or permanently augmented to fit. bottom line.. if you like them, there's no reason not to get them.








i'm not sure i actually like them on my car tho.. we'll see, maybe i just need to get use to them. my black covers were all crudded up and faded and definitely needed to be changed for something.

I decided to go the Hella500ff route. DPike we have that same countryman! Looks great! I just sanded down the light covers and going to experiment with painting the X and Mini on them. So far its going well

Thanks, yea i heard they were a little loose and you had to use tape , but there was no concrete evidence , thanks for the update.
