I want to put 4 lights accross the grill on my '02 -S-. There are a few out there from Moss, NewMiniSport, etc. Anybody installed any of these and what are your feelings? I like the looks of the NewMiniSport setup, but would like some feedback before jumping...

That looks nice. Kind of mod-vespa-retro cool.

So do the factory brackets fit in the center positions fairly well, or did you have to bend or modify them to get a positive fit?

Are those the oem plastic driving lights, or the real-deal cibie 45's?

Those are the OEM driving lights

That is the only position they would fit or more towards the outside. If you wanted them all equally spaced you would have to cut the plastic inbetween the grill slots.

Those are the ones I really like. What was the level of difficulty doing the install? Do they work off the high beams? Could they be wired with an independent switch? I looked at the install guide, but wanted a real world opinion. Any pictures of yours installed?

Mini Madness has a nice-looking kit as well.
