The UPS man showed up with some more goodies.


It was the PIAA 540 install kit for the 2002 to 2006 Mini Cooper. My Cooper has Xenon headlamps. These lamps can cause some snow blindness while driving during a quickly falling snow storm. In the past I have successfully use my fog lamps w/o the headlamps to navigate. This kit will give me one more option.


The kit comes with instructions that can be described as...decent, to put it kindly. The light brackets fit my Cooper perfectly. No issues with mounting the hardware, lamps or even running the wire. All went well and without any troubles.


Tips:

1. When drilling and mounting the top screw of the light brackets. Remove the two access panels. These access panels are there to give access to the nuts that hold on the ram are duct. This will make it much easier to fish some of the mounting hardware.
2. Run the light wiring towards the drivers side. There is a nice ground that can be used just beyond the washer fluid filling area.
3. The open area next to the master cylinder makes for a nice area to zip tie unused wire.
4. The master cylinder area also makes a nice launch pad through the fire wall. It is also a way to get to the battery connection.
