Nevermind - I didn't realize the 2011+ cars have two extra interior lamps on the ceiling for rear passengers I assume.

according to the PDF the R56 license plate bulbs are 6411 but I just bought some and they are 1/4" longer than the oem and don't fit... any idea what the true size is?
#### just found out the real size of the license plate bulb on R56 is C5W ####

Picked up some bulbs at my local auto parts store paid $2.90 for 2 bulbs . GE Standard 12v (6418) C5W/BP2 . I believe the C5W is the C for size and 5W stands for 5 watts.

Hello folks,
I have changed most of yellow stock bulbs to bright white SMD LEDs on my 2010 R55 Mini Cooper Clubman.
All LEDs were ordered from Ebay sellers in USA or Hong kong.
Total cost was around $60 (including license plate and driving light. No bulb-out error. only $30 without license plate and driving light).
and
I made a list of light bulb types for R55 and R56 with pictures. Lamp replacement guide from Sylavania.com is so confusing and sometimes shows wrong bulb type(like 9003 for Mini cooper clubman headlight!!).
This list explains how many bulbs and what type of bulbs are installed in our Mini.
Let me know if there is any error on the list.
LED is the light of the future. It will replace our headlight soon^^

Sylvania bulb 7506 for r56 rear turn signal is better choice
Dude you are a good and decent human being! Thanks for putting in the effort. Sylvania's web site does indeed bit the big gherkin.
For the REAR Turn signals on R56, the Sylvania 7506 (clear bulb) fits better into the socket than the 7507 (yellow bulb). They also give slightly different light, but its subtle.
7506 is a better choice.
Much appreciated.
