Another Bulb Question

Hey everyone,

I ordered a MINI for my fiance for Xmas (it's on the Patriot, should get here early Feb.). It will be her everyday car, our weekend/evening car (our other car, my car, is a 4Runner, so gas mileage isn't as good, and not as fun to drive anyway!). Anyway, I'm ordering new bulbs for my car and wanted to get bulbs for hers too. From reading here, it looks like the low AND high beams are H7 for the MINI. Is that correct for the 06 too?

I need H11s for the low beams for the 4Runner, kind of a pain to get.

On another note, has anyone heard of XD5 lights? Some people on the 4Runner forum like them. SPP lights are supposed to be good too. I want to find someplace I can get all our lights from, but if that doesn't work I'm going to go w/ Osrams for her.

Thanks everyone!

Hey, Congrats on the new born. I'm not sure if the bulbs are the same for the 06 MINI's but check out www.autolumination.com - They have tons of bulbs.

I have been very happy with the SPP bulbs, and they seem to have every kind /type of bulb (if its not on the site I have called/emailed about it and even got replacement super white bulbs for the funny little wedge driving lights in the signal lamp and the silvervisions for the indicators too). You can pick up any sort of H11 for your Toyota, and the H11 is what the MINI uses in the fogs I have the xenons and offhand cannot recall for sure what the lows are in the halogens, but I am pretty sure they list it in the manual, or you can just call and they should know.

Cheers and congrats on the new car

I got a set of Phillips bulbs for my MINI & Subaru here. I'm very pleased with them.
