Summary of R55, R56 light bulb types
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^^

i wonder if the Y in PY21W stands for yellow? makes sense for turn signals.

Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the listings. I'm looking to loose all of the amber and go with Silver Bulbs. I've changed the side turn signals to clear lenses and placed the silver coated amber bulbs. Now to the front turn signals at the headlights. I've tinted the side markers at the wheel wells. Looking forward to getting it all done soon! Thanks again!

FOOT WELL BULBS are tricky to get out.
word of wise for idiots like myself.
take a piece of tape, about 1cm thick and push it into a loop and into the little socket area around the bulb. then tighten it and let the tape surround the bulb. it'll create a little handle on the bulb so you can get it out.
