Looking to change out mine also. LED is knocking at my door but want my own style. I recommend getting rid of the black plastic look for body color.
Everyone is individualized!
On the note of individuality, it's really hard to be individual when you're surfing this website all the time. I find myself comparing my car to the cars on here instead of all the minis I see around town. I have NEVER seen a mini that looked as good as those of the frequent posters on here...I guess we all push each other to go bigger and better.
Uhhhhh, no because people can do whatever they want to their car. You might think they look tacky, but I can guarantee my car probably looks 100 times better than yours even with the "tacky" taillights. And tonanswer your question with a question....Why don't you keep the stock look and remanufacture with no chrome and make the bottom side / brake light multiple leds?
Whoa! No need to take it so personally fella. Each to their own and all that. In any case I did my oem tails in body colour to match the front joeys. think they give a subtle improvement over chrome stock.

Sorry you had bad luck, but the quality is not bad. I've ran 3 sets with no problems. I had a pair on my 2003 Solid Gold Cooper, a set on my current car, and now the painted ones I got off Mushadd, another NAM member. I still have the orginal pair that I purchased. Now the Euro style lights I got from Moss MINI on the other hand were junk. Had to send them back 3 times because of cracks in the lenses.
No, Moss doesn't sell those taillights. Your best bet is to get them off eBay. Don't worry about bid wars, most vendors have the buy it now option. A lot of vendors will sell the lights for $30 and charge like $20 shipping. Not bad, and remember that there are no aftermarket taillights for 2004 and up MINIs, so you have to retrofit a reverse light into the bumper.
tacky is the first thing that springs to mind on these. cant anyone keep the stock look and remanufacturer with no chrome and make the bottom side / brake light multiple leds. That would look the bomb.

How did I get owned? Because Act4 said so? Or is it because the other guy posted a picture of a black MINI with orange highlights. Since it was brought up that these taillights were tacky, I just decided to tell him my car probably looked 100 times better than his, because quite frankly this thread was to help out the OP or whoever else wanted these lights. It didn't require you trying to feel better about yourself by jumping in. Now run along, I think I heard your mom calling. She wants the car back.
because your car doesn't look 100 times better than his, thats how you got owned haha.
discussion over.
and this is most likely you anyways haha
And here I was being nice by not originally calling you an "Internet Gangsta", 'cus in reality I would have no problems seeing you in person and giving you a lesson in humility. As far as my car not looking 100 times better, you're wrong. Seriously, anybody can slap colored wheels on their car and paint their mirror caps to match. You'd have to park them sided by side to make that call. And again, it didn't concern you to start with. BUT, I will thank you for being such a comedian. You have had me laughing a lot, and after yesterday's news, I needed it!!
so then how are you able to tell that your car is looking 100 times better than his without parking next to him? because you have $39 ebay lights?
you're just embarrassing yourself man, you should probably stop.

His car looks better than yours, give it up, your just looking worse and worse.

Negative. I'm enjoying myself. Maybe you should stop.

Negative. A LOT of people know me around here for who I am. If you think I'm embarrassing myself, then that's you. But, you haven't attributed anything helpful to this orginal topic. Now for your question. Easy, it's not always about money.
