Hi Tzo,

This is my first time hearing about the Joey Mod headlights, and personally I'm not a big fan of it. You may be able to purchase after market headlights possibly, but not sure how the quality is. I just got my Mini Cooper S All4 Clubman the end of April and have been modding it slowly.

ECS had black headlight retrofits awhile back for prior generation MINIs. Might want to check with them or the other registered vendors.

No aftermarket right now for the F56+ headlights other then Valeo, which is direct OEM light/. So you can joey mod the factory lights while waiting for new ones to come out, once they do i will post up.

You can't order F56 headlights with a "black interior"? My R58 factory BiXenon headlights are blacked out. As I recall the "Joey mod" you had to put the darn things in the oven until the seal popped open and the paint them or something like that. Didn't sound too fun.

Do not put them in the oven!I did that and i almost destroyed the one headlight(R60).Then i learnt and i i opened the second one with a heat gun.Is much more safe in this way.

Yep, it has that chrome around the projectors. Joey mod could be done with the oven bake method.
