has anyone attempted to change out their tailights yet

im thinking of buying the new tails
any idea what they are going for
thanks

 

The wiring is different. The British mini forum has been asking one of their own who convert cable harnesses to make some up, but nothing has come to pass of yet. Not only will you have that issue, you'll also have to address the load problem, the new tails are LED and the old incandescent so you'll need to stop the bulb out messages.

If you find any more details, post back. I'd like to get LEDs for brakes as they respond faster than hot bulbs and improve response time a smidge to the idiot up your 6.

Cheers.

 

There's very little that's LED in the 2011 taillights. The brakes and turn signals are still incandescent. The LEDs only provide some styling accents.

One of the standard brake bulbs is clearly visible in this pic:
