I saw this picture in the gallery and fell in love with this headlight cover. Does anyone know where to get them? Heres the link:

those are "projection" replacements and are more than just covers.
But I'd say YUCK.

The big round headlights are what give the MINI it's character. Why would anyone want to change that?

Not to be too snide, but isn't the Mini montra to personalize & customize. I dig the suedo-Euro-look of replacement lights. If the big lights are what gives it it's character, then wouldn't 13" wheels be in order also (I know they were micro on the origional, I'm guessing 13&quot? Not that I like spinners on the Mini, but they do look hott on big SUV's. Isn't the performance part of the character? And by the way, I'm too old & mature to do the whole 'rice rocket' thing; how could a Brit be confused with Rice? Thanks kenchan for the lead and for not being as opinionated as the others. Wasn't it mom who said "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". Just kidding everyone, opinions are like a-holes, everyone's got one; and usually they stink. Noodle on that.

For some reason, those lights remind me of Jumba, the alien that created Stitch.

If I stare at it long enough it reminds me of a nurse shark.
It certainly does change the character of the front end of the MINI. From friendly and cute to mean and aggressive-Add some black or dark anthracite rims and you're in business.

Yeah that is photoshopped...there are few other pics like that. One is a black MINI, and the other is angel eye headlights...

I would buy them if anyone ever made them...the chances of them being made is slim to none though...

Those are kinda like the projection lights they put on the WRX's...I think they look good on the WRX but not on the mini.

I recently installed these optical blue covers from Lamin-x. They work great and do not distort light output at night. They also offer clear and amber colors.
