They must be for a pre-2005 MINI that has the back up light in the center of the bumper.

Put the reverse light in the fog light position? Do you have a plastic plug in the center rear bumper? What year/model do you have?
Here is where you can buy the center reverse light:

That was so my first thought!!!
I guess I can get a bumper light which I am going to check out at the dealer today. So I guess I will keep them just a little longer.

If you do install them, mmake sure they all ready have reflectors, or buy some to put on the back of your MINI. I remember someone else installing after market tail lights without reflectors, and he got pulled over and ticketed.
