I need to replace on of my headlights on an 08 Mini. While I was at it I figured I would install something cool-looking, energy efficient. etc. I haven't messed around with Minis for long, so I really haven't had time to see all the headlights. What do you folks like for looks? Any pointers on LED or HID? And where to find them? Thanks!!

 

For both headlights that is. The post above kinda sounds like I was only going to replace one light...

 

You could get a set of the MINI Xenon headlights plus bulbs and ballasts and whatever else is needed to do the switch it was an option on the cars. Pic below. I don't believe there is any true affordable LED alternative that is worth a damn at the moment. The high end cars with LED forward lighting have a lot of engineering in their projection technologies. LED headlights are a $7k option on the Audi R8 last time I checked

These are xenons, they look a bit bluer in the dark.

I got these, with 5000K bulbs. They're a true Bi-Xenon. It's hard to tell these apart from the OEM ones, except for the lack of washer spray. They perform great, and the cost is around $1K

Oh, and they're completely plug-n-play. No need for programming and no error codes. JB is the man over there, ask for him!
