How Do I Check?

Is there a way to find out the configuration of a Mini from its VIN?

Also is there any site that shows the different Mini headlights available on the Mod IIs? Can some one explain what the lights are on this car?

There is the VIN decoder here on NAM, it is in the column on the Left:

NAM VIN Decoder

But I found the BMW Archives Decoder to have a bit more info on my car

BMW Archive VIN Decoder

The BMW one gives me the info on my lights with the code S522A, which do not look like yours.

HTH.

Option code 522 is Xenon headlights ... the OP's car looks to have standard (halogen) headlights.

Try those top ones first and then sometimes if you find the original dealership purchased from they can print out a list of options ordered.
