question about the horseshoe driving lights

do all F56 have them? I've seen some F56 pictures where i can't really tell if they have the LED horseshoe driving lights.

Thank You

Halogen headlights don't. It's really noticeable out on the road.

They are called "Omega Rings". They are part of the LED lighting option. I definitely recommend getting them, they're amazing! I have them and have amazing visibility with LED.

so if the Mini comes with Halogen lights, these Omega Rings are not included?


does anyone know how do the LED fog lights compare to the regular fog lights?


is the rear fog LED?


Thanks.

No the Omega rings will not come with the halogen headlight option. I have LED fog lights, headlights, and tai lights. There is a major difference from the halogen. I do not have the rear fog lights; however, it'd be safe to assume that they are probably halogen.

Are the LED tail lights standard on all Coopers?


thanks

No, you will get the LED headlights, fog lights, and taillights if you get the LED lighting option. The Omega rings will come with the LED package.

I have driven around at night with just the DRL on and they are super bright. You can see about 3-4 feet in front of the car on a very dark night out in the country.

The LED lights are probably the feature I like the most about my MCS. I come in to work early and for nearly the entire year, that means in the dark, so the lights are really important to me. The LED fog lights are fantastic. They emit a huge pool of light immediately in front of the car. Extremely helpful. The omega rings are cool, too, but that is secondary to the headlights.
