R56 HID kit
Theres really no trick to installing the kit. You just plug everything up to its connections put the bulb in the housing and run the red wire to the battery and find a good ground. If you need me to post pics of how mine is put on let me know.
That would be great! I'm just wondering if it'll be alot different than the 2011 MCS's which is what i have that's why.

I am willing to sell it. Where are you located? Shipping would be a waste of money. Please send me a PM.
Thanks.

I tried the DDM kit in my wife's 09' and it wouldn't work with the Error Code Eliminators. It also didn't work without the eliminators, the car just wouldn't run HID's no matter what I tried. They would run great for a few miles then one would go out and when high beams were on they flickered real bad. I am guessing the car voltage was too low.

ANyone tried just a low beam kit?
I am trying to figure this out as well and it seems there is no "one" answer. Some people have luck, some dont. I bought a hi/low kit off ebay and one side doesnt want to work right. it connects to the battery. The light out code is also tripping on my car. Not sure what the solution is. others have had luck with running resistors. I was close to ordering a DDM kit but I talked tot he guy and his notes said that people with Mini's have not had luck with the code out eliminators.

DDM's HID kit has failed me, and it only connects one side of the factory harness so the error code is unavoidable. Returning the whole dang thing and buying a different kit, anyone know of a kit that works well? highs and lows?

We sell premium error free HID kit that will eliminate the flickering/power up issue guarantee! however the code will be still there. but other than that, everything works fine 
I installed a set of single beam 35W kits on my 2010 MINI cooper S, it start soild every time when I start the car! never flicker or one side off issue

sry bud, been super busy with summer school. i made no holes what so ever. i really dont understand why u need to drill holes and stuff... the wires plug directly into the factory bulb plug...
this is what the kit looks like.
1.so you connect the ecu bulb out override to the stock bulb harness. you just plug it in. so the car will actually let you run the HID. (our cars if you dont have this it will think the light bulb burnt out and not let you run the headlight at all.)
2. connect that to the ballast
3. connnect ballast to the HID bulb.
4. screw in bulb like you would your stock ones.
5.cram all the stuff back into the housing and close it up.
6. ur done! no dis-assembly, cutting, drilling. just straight plugging
*** that other black wire you see bottom right is not a headlgiht wire, its the washer fluid line.***

(I understand this is an old thread)
The cheap route is never the best route.
You're better off saving up the money until you can afford proper headlights that support HIDs. You're increased visibility sacrifices others. Driving in fog is nearly impossible with HIDs in a halogen housing. I won't even bring up the loss of highbeams.
Why not try:
Better halogen bulbs
External driving light kit
Aside from the immense glare it just looks cheap, like you can't afford to do it right.
