The "lowest price ones?"

Try JC Whitney, $18.99 a pair Mini Auxiliary Round Lights, http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...+10201/c-10101

Dont see you can get them cheaper than that!

Of course, you get what you pay for ...

Remember, it's not just about the quality of the light itself--how good are the mounting brackets? That is a big issue, the way that they mount through the MINI's grille, those mounting brackets must be very solid, or else your lights are going to bounce around like two bobbleheads up there!

Buy german Hella's!!!

Hi, I installed Hella 500's on my mini for under $70.00. The Hella light is a high quality light and very bright. See www.hellausa.com. Don't buy cheap lights you'll regret it later.
