Electrical Install side-reflectors
Install side-reflectors
As you know here in Europe (The Netherlands) we have no side-reflectors. I know not all people in the US likes the side-reflectors. Here in The Netherlands you don't see them, I 've see them three times in real. So they are very special here.
I've order them.
I know how to install at the front, but rear I don't know how to do it. How is wire fits at the taillights? At front is simple; you keep in the bumper.
But at rear; you have to go from bumper to the taillights in the carrosserie.
Has some one some picture's and some explainations for me?
The way from wheelarcher to taillight...?
In forward thank you!

Ironically, because we already have the wheel arch lights standard here, none of us would have experience retrofitting them! Have you asked on MINI2? I know that mikeythemini in the UK has fitted them:

All I do whenI fit the arches to UK cars is link them into the front & rear side/rnning lights. The front is very easy, the rear require the wire running into the car through a grommet that can be found behind the rear lights

Hello,
After long time I look to this topic... the arches are already installed at my car for a month now.
Sorry I was forgot this topic.
@ragedmx:
Tomorrow I'll send you the info. But wat I understand is the problem with the front? That is very simple: take the tape off the wire of the front small-lights. Don't take the flashing light!!! Cut the two wires and connect the sidelight with them.
Our MINI's; Silver is of my brother and the Pepper White is mine. Both are they MINI One with a Pipercross openairfilter, but the mine is remapped (90hp -> 130hp).
I'm faster than my brother!

MINI on the road
Thank you, i will wait.
also i am wondering if i can use any other regular cable, my problem is the connection socket, at reverse of the reflectors are the counterpart of the socket and also the bulb but there is no cables that give power to light on the reflectors.
