LEDs installed in our R56
I also mentioned this in another thread, but thought it was worth mentioning here...
We put together an LED kit for the R56. I put the Super White color in our shop car, although they're also available in red and blue.
They look like this:
Here's blue:
And red:
You can find the kits HERE.
Edit: I got my hands on a new Clubman the other day, so we have a kit for that now.

Nine or ten replacement bulbs, depending on your car.
No harder than changing the original light bulbs. Pretty easy.
In most cases, you just snap off the lens for the bulb housing, remove the old bulb (caution, bulbs that were just lit are hot!), and place the new bulb in the same socket.
You get the exact amount of bulbs you need, no extras.

how easy it is it to install
how do you pop off the lights i assume and replace the new ones
with 9 bulbs, will there be extra after we install the needed amount [what is the needed amount?]

Sorry for my ignorance, does this LED kit you're offering replace the Mood Lighting made available in the R56 MINIs? Or does the LED kit you have replace the map lights, dome light, puddle lights... all which are not affected by the Mood Lighting correct? Again sorry if this are completely obvious, as I don't have my car yet. Just preparing!
I really like the Red, and am wonder like the poster above me if it will match the interior lighting already in place and how it interacts with the mood lighting if it doesn't replace it. Last question I promise, if your kit does not replace the mood lighting is it possible to replace it? ie; I dont want orange, blue or purple, but would like red or white.

No. As you can see in the pic, the odometer and audio display are more orange.
I still have to work out both fit and electrical resistance issues. I'll post here with updates.

I can't believe I'm thinking about the red. I can't believe I'm thinking about this at all, actually.
I like the bright white, but red would allow you to keep your night vision. See, it's practical! Wonder how that'd work with the blue mood lights...hmmm...
Anyway, the site says you don't have the dome light panels for the R56, so how's it that we're seeing superwhite, red, or blue in the pics?
(love the DS/DS btw -- I almost went with that instead of DS/B)

But we do have normal bulbs, which work pretty well. The panel above is the brightest solution for a dome lamp, but a five-way high-output bulb isn't bad, and that's what we use for the R56. We use bulbs in all other locations in both cars -- the dome light in the R50/R53 is the only one that gets the item pictured above.
