2018 F56 courtesy puddle light kit

[size=3]Anyone know of a “retro-fit” kit for the courtesy/puddle lights. My car does not have the factory courtesy lights ☹ [/size]

Are you speaking of the lights that project the MINI emblem? I purchased some from Amazon and they work great.

Yes, but not the factory ones. My car doesn't have the knockout for the factory. I was hoping someone made a battery version like the door sills.

Better still, they make projectors that go in place of your door puddle lights. I got mine from GoBadges.com


Install is crazy easy. Grab a flat headed screwdriver, pop out factory puddle light, reconnect to replacement, orient the slide film as desired, pop new projector puddle light into door.

Think I figured it out. The puddle lights only come as part of the "MINI Excitement Package", which is no longer standard equipment but an extra-cost add-on. (How effing cheap can you get, BMW?)

See part #29 here:

huh, I have not really seen a new one without it, they must have changed things up. Nothing a wire into the interior lights and trimming the bottom of the door car could not fix.

Excitement Package will have both on the 19s - without it though you get neither.
