I installed my set this weekend. Yeah the MINI ones were pretty vague, but I guess MINI techs know what panels to remove. My biggest issue was after I routed wires into the engine compartment where the ground wires (A4) connected to. The PDF makes it look like service point terminal 31 (X165) is on the underside of the fuse block. After searching I realized it was the stud on the frame. I did take some pictures but not very many. I'll post them later.

Thanks and if you have any tips on removing the colour line piece for the switch and the grill. I'm concerned if I don't know the "procedure" I may force something and break it.

Thanks, you have just demystified 80% of the light install. I think all that is left is to find pics of the wiring part!!!

I got kind of slack taking pictures when I got to the actual wiring part. I was getting too excited. Here is the footwell module. I think I have a pic of the engine compartment fuse area on my home PC. I'll try to get them uploaded to my gallery. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...y.php/cat/2459

I got mine from Morristown Mini. Good price, but a little long on the shipping.
