Well, good things happen to good people. I don't suppose they have one with a Pepper White background?

Thanks! I don't think so, I know them have chrome but they might actually have them in white! Check ebay!

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.

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.

Is the quality of Moss Mini really that bad?

These look really cool! Nicely done

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hope this doesn't discourage anyone else from posting pics of their taillights if they have them.

Also, the waambulance has been called and will be here soon.
