Where can one purchase driving lights for a Mini - I know I can get them from the dealer but what about some aftermarket brands that are nicely made? Thanks...

 

a lot of the aftermarket vendors sell them... i know Outmotoring.com has a pretty good selection i think the hella 500 black majic kit looks pretty fresh!

 

Lots of choices; Hella, PIAA, etc. all make quality lights that you can put on your Mini. I have Hella 500s now but I think they may a little too big for my tastes. If you want something similar to the oem size you can get 5" Wipac lights from several sources. (I have a set of Wipacs on order to replace my Hellas.) You will usually have to buy the brackets separately or fab your own.

 

Call Aaron at Outmotoring. He's a good guy & can get you what you want.

as said, there are many companies that make good lights: Hella, PIAA, Lucas

secret is getting a good mount. I know that for GEN1 there WERE MINI specific kits from Hella that included a copy of the factory bracket, and there were the factory brackets availalble w/out lights so you could attach anything or you could get light bars from various vendors.

I only know of one alternate bracket for the GEN2

there's probably others, but this is the only one I know of. Or if you have some basic metal working skills and tools you might be able to fabricate something on your own.....

 

Thanks everyone!
