ElectricalFor discussions regarding wiring up electrical modifications such as radar detectors, brake light mods, power sockets, and driving lights in Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
I have a 02 S and was changing out a brake/taillight. I have the 3 bulb setup with the amber circular lens in the middle portion of the tailight running the turn signals and the bottom is the double element tailight and brake light. For the life of me I can’t figure out what the top bulb/lens is for. I’m old but I’ve been befuddled in this one.
Some have installed jumpers between the brakes and the fogs, just to use them. Though there have been instances where the BCM didn't like the voltage flow, as it was higher than expected.
there was a lot of customer complaining about it - mostly that ugly space in the toggle row where the rear fog light would be - so eventually they gave in and made them available in the us
