VIP Driving Lights... pics?

I recently purchased some Hella 500s for my upper grille and have decided that I would prefer something a bit smaller and chrome to look more like the factory ones.

Liking the way that the VIP Custom Parts kit looks http://vipcustomparts.com/minicooperparts.htm (part #124) and the fact that they are priced under $200, I am considering them. Problem is, the picture on their website doesn't show any detail at all and I really want to see them. I e-mailed VIP once earlier this month with no response (just e-mailed again today).

Does anyone have these lights? Anyone have pictures of these lights either installed or even in the box? I just feel like I need to see them up close before ordering.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I recently bought the driving lights from vip - I installed the lights myself, easy instructions to follow. Check it out

Bergie,

Is that your own grill, or VIP's grill?

Another one for Bergie

How solid are the mounts? Pretty tight? No rattling?

The grill is original MCS - the brackets are mounted on the bumper frame. Super tight - no rattling whatsoever!!

Enjoy your ride!!
Bergie
