yea the factory ones installed are different than the retrofit kit. The retrofit kit is brighter on the halo and a tad more blue/purple compared to the factory ones.
I have a R56 lci 2012 Cooper S, i want to fit these retrofit DRL but i don't have Auto Lights feature in my car. Can i still do it?
I have the 520 foglight option in my car though.
Help would be great :-)

Thanks.
As long as you have the foglights that's enough. You have to disable daytime running lights in the car menu though, if the headlights are on with the standard wiring you just get the upper third of the DRL ring.

I don't have the option to disable or enable DRL in the car menu. Could't find it in the idrive like thing Mini has.
It's not possible with this kit unfortunately. With the way it's wired into the car, the moment the lights are on it changes the rings to parking lights

With everything setup, the DRL are on during the day (xenon are off), but all other exterior lights are off. In the past, before I removed/coded-out the Canadian region setting, the Xenon would be on for DRL along with my corner marker lights.
(I have bright LED lights in the fenders and they are visible during the daytime. I also like having the rear tailing LEDs lit during the day.)
