LED tailights?

Are LED tail lights an option on the new Cooper? I can't find any info on their website.

This is news to me too! My MA told me LED tails only came with the LED headlamp upgrade (Which I went without).

I hadn't heard that, but I can't verify it since I have the LED headlights too. I'm sure my tail lights are LED though.

When I ordered the car, I also couldn't verify. Every new car in the dealer stock had the LED headlamps. I'll find out for sure, soon (hopefully) enough.

LED tail lamps ARE NOT STANDARD on any F56 model. They are ONLY available as part of the LED lighting package/upgrade. Sorry folks, if you have been told otherwise, you have been provided misinformation.

If that's the case why doesn't the package state that then? For that matter, it isn't stated anywhere on the miniusa site that I can see.

I do remember reading in the LED headlights description that it came with LED taillights. There's a regular one in my complex, I'll check next time he leaves.

If that's true (hope it isn't!!), it's not that big a deal. Except for my VW that needed 3 new rear bulbs in its first year, only one other rear bulb has been replaced in our cars over 25+ years.

What about the back-up lights? Are they LED too?
