someone with a '11 or '12 get these and let me know if they work theyd go great with my blacked out front housings

 

Some bad news for all you 2011, 12 Mini owners...
The wiring has changed for us so OutMortoring (who has been nothing but helpful) needs to update the wiring for their Black tail lights...
I have a Gen2 MCS 2011, and when I installed the tail lights found out that not only do you have to tweak the OEM bulbs, but you would have to rewire the harness. While I know for some of you this won't be a problem, for $250 I want them right the first time.
Erin from OutMortoring said that he would update the website and see what the manufacturer can do, Thanks Erin

 

Hey how hard was it to wire the rear fogs to the brake light??? You have them as a second set of brake lights right????

 

To anyone that has these... In person, do they look someone OEM and clean or do they have a little bit of that "ricey" look to them?

 

They look very nice. Not really OEM not Ricey either. I will take some better pics and post them up tomorrow.

 

Clubman ! Clubman ! Clubman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want some too ..............
Saw them at the Import n Kit Car Nat at Carlisle PA, they are pretty sweet .............

 

I've seen a bunch of pictures of them. On some cars they look really good and on others... meh... It's just hard to tell in pictures. I've seen some cool looking tail lights on ebay only to find out they look like total crap when they arrive at the door.

 

I think they look awesome on BIG MINI.

 

I have the black tail lights on them and to me they don't look ricey at all. I have a midnight black and it kind of completes the back and limits the red seen. They look amazing on Prowl =)

 

Whats going on man, do you have any pics of them on your car?

 

COP and co., the light warning is being caused by the higher resistance/lower amp draw of the LEDs versus the std lamps. My 92 Grand Prix STE has the same system, what it does is run a tiny amount of current through the system at start-up or bulb-check and if sees what it is looking for, no issue, if it sees very low or no current flow, it triggers the alert. The fix is to wire a medium ohmage wire-wound or heavy carbon resistor in parallel with the lamp, to fool the lamp ECM into believeing everything is fine. This is very common, the same issue with LED turn signals that blink like mad, the current draw doesnt match the turn signal flasher load rating.

 

@sob4691 I have pics in this thread still I believe on Pg 4 one with them off and one with them on w/ reverse light on as well. I dont have a pic with the entire set yet. still waiting to do that as it's been raining here and haven't had a chance to clean it. Boo! Hopefully that helps!

@Clubman S Turbo That's good info! On Prowl I do get that error light but it goes away after startup. I don't think I have anything to worry about. Just gets annoying that the warning light goes on due to that low wattage.

 

How would I get instructions for the electronically challenged to do this?

 

I loved the way they looked, super cool......How hard is it to fix the wiring problem!!
Someday they'll make them for 2011, or 2012

I really like the look of these but with a '12 MCS, I'll wait to pull the trigger...

 

Installed my led tail lights (black) a few days ago and have gotten good reviews from folks. I have an 08 mcs and no warnings at all. Thanks to Aaron for the great deal.....

 

+1 = 6 for clubbie

 

Just got a pair. Disappointed in that one of mine also cracked like other posts in this thread, so no magic changes to shipping.

Question: should've been a plug'n'play with the bulb (need to add a reverse bulb in the top slot), but it's not. The bulb in my 2010 R56 Cooper hatchback has the pins directly opposite, but the holder for the bulb on the new black LED taillights are offset just a little...like 10'oclock and 2'oclock. any help?

 

Coopersport.ca sell white bulbs with the offset pegs. They're mirror bulbs so they actually aren't really seen once put in! The bulbs are called "Solaris"
Hope this helps!

 

Meh, I don't really like them. They look pretty ricey IMHO.

 

does anyone with these have the stock, white bulb OEM tails??

 

I do, if your still intrested shoot me an offer

 

Anyone that has these had any problems with them? I installed a set in June '11 and my right one is already dead. Maybe it's a loose wire or something but I'm not holding my breath...

 

@sooper_cooper

I've had mine installed since Aug '11 and no issues so far. only thing that shows up is a bulb warning but then goes away afterwards. Hopefully it's only a loose connection for you!

 

Hi everyone,

I have the passenger side available for these lights. Just parting out the car. If your passenger side is chipped and need a replacement. Let me know! I have it available. OutMotoring only sells them in pairs.
