Are you talking about the brake/tail light? Looks like a normal Mini brake/tail light to me... What do you see that I don't?

seems like it regular ones with white turn signals.

it has a JCW body kit on it so it might make the fogs seem different??

Ok......for all who can't figure out the difference, see the attached picture. I added a picture of my lens for comparison. Mine is red around the outside, red in the large circle area, and an amber turn signal lens. The picture in question shows a lens that is red around the outside, amber in the large circle area, and a clear turn signal lens. See it now? I know the turn signal lens were a option when ordering, but the basic lens is different. Where are these from?

Like they said. The JCW had lights turned on.

Like Works8 says, I think the large circle area only looks amber because the light is on. Go look at your lights while stepping on the brake.

Does anyone know where to buy the white turn signals? I want to add them to mine (picked my mini from the lot)!

Thanks!

Up here, the clear lenses are standard on the S, and the amber are standard on the regular Cooper.

if you want just the side marker for now, there's a WTT thread in the market section.
