I just had these installed on my Roadster last month. They work and look fantastic.

These are not just slightly different looking, they are a massive improvement over the yellow looking standard fog lights, and when they work as daytime running lights, they completely change the look of the car.

Mate,
If you drive by the fog lights, you may need glasses!

Fog lights are useless at speeds above 20mph, which is about as fast you would dare to drive in blanketing fog - the only time they are of any use.

The rest of the time they are just outward facing vanity lights.

They're talking about 2015 R56 hatchbacks. Aren't those F56 now?

Yeah, it does actually. Apparently the folks at MINI also agree along with nearly everyone here as well.

Don't act so surprised.....lol.
