I'd like to replace the front fog lights with driving lights. Amber driving lights would be particularly welcome.

Seems like it would be trivial from an engineering point of view. Does anyone know of a kit to do this on the Cooper S?

Do you mean use the OEM holes for driving lights? I think one person here has done that. However, you really dont want to do that. They are WAY too low. Driving lights go up as HIGH as possible. Fogs go as low as possible. If you put driving lights there they wont do much of anything.

 

Yes, I want to use the holes for the fog lights for driving lights. I can live with the limitations the positioning brings. It's an imperfect world.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

 

The fog opening it very tiny. Any driving light lens will be both very tiny and, because its so low, ineffective. However, check these out. http://piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/004xt.html
They might do or check the rest of the tiny little bullet type lamps from PIAA. Your going to have to do some unique DIY mounting thing though.

Good Luck

 

why not just get amber film from Lamin-x? When I ordered my film kit, I specified blue tint for the headlights, clear for the turn signals and amber for the fogs. Couldn't have been simpler. Plus it gives me the look I want, and the lighting I need when it gets foggy 'round these parts.

 

He's looking to replace the OEM fogs with Driving Lights ... How is adding amber film going to do that?

 

Re-read his original post Chowsie. He specifically mentioned Amber lights. It seems to me that he is really looking for a manner to make his car unique rather than improve his lighting (amber driving lights positioned four inches off the asphalt make very little sense in the real world - too narrow and low a pattern combined with too little reflectiveness when used in combination with white headlights). My suggestion is a cheap and easy one. With the added plus of removal and return to stock if things don't work out.

 

You are correct SORRY ... I missed that part.

Yup ... good idea. My bad reading ...

 

You could get that amber film or buy an amber replacement bulb for the fog lights. PIAA has some good one's (expensive) and I use Nokya's in my fog kit.
