I ordered the ones from Diamond Racing. They are $60.00 for a six piece set which includes the Headlights, Tail Lights, and turn signal lights. They are the 3M product. I should have them in a few days.

I think that on the right color MINI it could be OK. Dark silver/black, pepper white or black/black would be a place to try it. Even the rear light treatment might be OK. Doesn't seem to work with blue.
Some 3M kits are thick clear vinyl to protect the glass in the fog lights and headlights. These look more appearance oriented. Also for the headlights- it is possible that some states can have laws about what is legal.

With all do respects to my fellow motorists above i beg to differ with their comments. The covers will have a different look depending on the car they are installed on. I have just ordered the front smoked covers from Moss for my car and should have them in the next day or so. I have had the rear smoked for a couple of months now and have gotten many compliments. I expect the same responce with the fronts as well. If you are in the SO.Cal area perhaps we can hook up and you can change your mind in person :smile: Randy

Hi Danny,

Any chance of a close-up or higher res picture of those clear front covers? I am considering them as an alternative to applying protective films...

Cheers

We dont sell covers like that. BUT if you like the look you can always buy our smoked headlight kit and trim any shape you like in it before applying. Just a suggestion.

Bought the Pro Beam covers from Moss last week.Looked ok,but the fitament sucks!
Their secured with stickon velcro that don't stick to headlights very good.Almost fell off after driving up the street and back.Sending them back now.I'm going with the
Lamin-X optic blue laminant.
