HID Swap

Yeah, another HID thread. I've read a lot of the threads on the site, and see there are a lot of posts on aftermarket or oem - and the cost and effort involved. But I have 2 MINIs. An 06 with HID, and an 05 without. If you already have all the parts, why isn't a simple swap?

It should be a straight forward swap, the only addition is the added parts the HID has, but it should just plug in.

Even most of the after market makers make simple plug and play style applications where the old lights are replaced, and the HID Ballasts just plug right into the standard wiring and easy peasy about an hour and you should be all set.

Motor on!
