Great product. $134 from Ebay (MIT Accessories or carlab-design-tuning or casakeytw who I purchased from) including shipping. Available on-line from others for $200-$250. I think Outmotoring will be selling them soon. Easy install. Can be wired for automatic switch to dim when headlights on. See my gallery for 4th photo. By far BEST CM LIGHTING MOD. Looks like factory item. The unit simply replaces the pop-out brake duct.

 

Looks pretty cool. Got any pictures at night?

 

No night pics yet, I just installed them this morning. Nite pics tend not to accurately represent them. My guess is they are very similar to what you see on the newer Benz C series. They are wired to dim when you turn headlights on. They are not meant to improve what you see, only to make you more visible during the day. They add some bling (but not too much) to the front end and definately make you more visible to others during the day. SIMilar to the LEDs on my Clubman (see my gallery).

 

Would they be easy to mask off the lights and paint?

 

can u post up a DIY ?
thnaks

 

Yes, you could easily mask off the light and paint the housing.

 

The instructions are straightforward, mostly plug and play. Need to run power from a fuse that is Ignition/ACC and run ground to a ground. I ran power wire from engine bay by going through the cabin air filter which is behind and below the battery (you don't need to remove the battery, just the cover to see it) and grounded in the engine bay thru an existing screw on one of the braces near the passenger side headlight. If you want lights to dim when headlights are on you tap a blue wire into the hot wire to one of the headlights. The front brake duct housing pops out (I used an L shaped tool to pry it out from the back. You can see how it snaps by looking at the LED housing) and you just insert/pop in the new LED unit. No need to remove front bumper.

 

Do you know the color temperature of the LED bulbs? I am wondering how they would match up to my HID headlamps.

 

6000k-7000k according to the documentation. Just based on visual they would go well with HIDs. Technically speaking, they are very bright and very white.

Mini_Z that looks great. Thanks for sharing.

 

Holy Jesus, if I saw you coming at me from behind, I'd swear a UFO was tailing me.

 

Love them.. I purchased them.. They are sitting in the box waiting for the new 2014 countryman to be delivered....

 

mini_z...which bulbs are you running in your factory fog light location?

 

So weird I just did a post on these the other night asking if anybody knows about these lights and if anybody had run them yet....the ones I found were from Taiwan and had a black housing are these the same kind?they look great BTW ....and will def. be my next MOD.!!! HERES THE LINK TO MY POST https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...602-hmmmm.html

 

I got Hid fog lights install by my local shop replacing my factory ones.

I live on North shore of long Island , driving on back roads were there are not much street lights.

These Hid fogs and Hella lamps do help a lot.

 

ANYBODY?..............

 

I think mine are the same but in chrome. I got them painted Red

Look at above post from nd3boy the top link

 

Thanx for responding MINI-Z do you have a pic of them on in the daytime it looks like you have the same set up as me.... davidtobin does not have the HID headlights so Im not sure how they will work sorry if im sounding lame but are they on a switch or how do they function automatically? what lights are on and functioning during the day? as you can tell,, electrical items and myself DO NOT MATCH hahahaI will def have to have somebody install these for me is that what you did? if so how much do you think would be a average fair cost of installation of these? thanx in advance for the info

 

I went to my local car shop. They have a person who does tints, AV
He installed the switches and the lights for me. I told them were to install the switches. They turn on/off with the switches, No connection to existing lights.
He also install LED parking lights which look white ( top of fogs)
