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.

You dont have the stock puddle lights? Did you look under the door card?

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.
