I finally got a set of PIAA 80 Pro XT 6inch driving lights installed on my MCS. I used the BMW mounting brackets and all the PIAA wiring, also there is a switch inside the cabin that will only work if the lights are turnd on. Here are some pics....

Have you seen this wacky PIAA set up pictured here in my signature line?

Zerocool, how did you stop them from vibrating on the factory brackets? I have the PIAA 520 kit on my car and get tons of movement in the lights. It's so bad I will not drive with them on.

thanks

edgti,

PIAA makes a Mini specific mount that is supposed to be better than stock. I have a couple on order for some clients.

Contact me offline and I'll forward the details once its available.

Here's a pic of the PIAA 540's installed on stock brackets. Funny thing is the drivers side is very solid, but passenger side shakes on rough roads just a bit.
