I have an 06 S with the rear fog lamp. They make a clear tail lamp that'll fit this specific combo?

I actually ordered a pair I thought would work, but since my bracket that holds the bulbs is L shaped, to incorperate the reverse light, they won't fit all. Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

I have the 02-04 clear taillights on my vert. You need to make some changes to the bulb bracket that comes with them. Remove the top bulb and replace it with a clear one (this will act as your reverse lights). I also changed out the bottom bulb with a brighter LED red bulb (this is your taillight and brakelight). The middle one will be the turn signal.

 

Awesome Meg thank you.

I actually have the same tail lights as those but you just told me what my problem is. I don't have the straight bulb bracket, mine is L shaped.

So I need to find a straight bulb bracket, right?

 

To use 02-04 taillights on a later model, you do need to get a new light assembly from an 02-04 car. You can get them from the dealer for about $12 for the pair. Also you'll want to get colored bulbs - the ones stock in the Mini are clear blubs for colored lenses. I have clear lights (soon to be) everywhere and LOVE it on an AB.

 

Yes, although the clear lights I got came with the straight bulb bracket. The ones I have are the offical MINI ones (I know there is a similar aftermarket one). You could call MINI and see if they sell the bracket alone.
Unfortunately the bulbs are soldered in...we tried heating the solder to get them out and it didn't work. We wound up using a dremel to get the bulbs out to replace them.

 

Awesome, thanks you two.

Called my dealer, got em ordered and shipped. Should have em mid next week.

Thanks again for all your help.

 

It takes a little work to put pre-05 lights in a newer model, but it's worth it.

 

I love that lic plate!!
