New Mods for My Mini

Hello I am sure This is bad idea to post this cuz i probably could find alot of this infomation on the site but I feel alot of it is old and new people join all the time with new information.. so here it goes

I have been wanting and researching on getting some new mods for my 2002 Mini Cooper S.

Sonar Tail Lights
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SONAR...Q5fAccessories

They look good and well made but I am unsure if they will work with our cars. Has anyone used them or know if this is good idea for that price? I am looking for clear tails and this seemed good..

Projector Head Lights
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...Q5fAccessories

These Look really sharp. I think they would fit and looks really nice on my red mini coop. What do you guys think?


HID Xenon Kit
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Now My friend put a cheap conversion kit on his Honda and they look good but I am unsure if this is them or if this is just a cheap mod that will look sumwhat better. I want them to look good but low price. What you think?


I am also looking for....
Window Tint ( has to legal to MA Laws )
LED Floor Lights
LED Headlamp Lights
Short Shifter
Floor Mats ( I dont like the OEM Style )


Thanks for any help..

The HID conversion sounds great if it works as described. Has anyone used this conversion? All plug and play. It sounds too good to be true. The description says:

SIMPLY TAKE OUT YOUR HALOGEN BULBS FROM YOUR HEADLIGHT HOUSING AND REPLACE IT WITH THE HID BULBS, CONNECT THE HID BULBS TO THE BALLAST, AND CONNECT THE BALLAST TO THE FACTORY HARNESS, YOU ARE DONE!

The EBay title is "HID Xenon Fog lights kit..." This is a headlight conversion and not a fog light conversion correct? I sent the seller some questions.

Those actual headlights with the HID bulbs are a joke.

They are made by Spec D Tuning and they are a PAIN to align correctly. We just purchased a set, installed them and had to send them back in. The passenger side HID flickered a lot every time I hit a bump and they were shining about 10' high, rather than 3' high. We could never get them adjusted correctly.

We are waiting for our refund to be processed.

I'm thinking about maybe going Hella brand replacements or just waiting until someone on here is selling their 05-06 headlights.
