I chose to skip on the driving lamp option when I purchased my mini. The factory price was ridiculous! I know I can brackets from a dealer but I'm not sure what kind of lights to get, a few of the PIAA's looked nice but then I don't know the size of factory lamps to give it the similar look.
I'm open to suggestions!
----Dark Silver Mini Cooper S with all three packages. Lapis blue leather and black roof. VERY NICE!!!!

I advise against driving lights for the Mini because where they mount obstructs airflow to the radiator and creates two hotspots. Even the factory fogs, which I liked on the Cooper I had, I felt blocked airflow to the front discs. I'm into airflow and as always this is just IMHO :smile: . Feed air to that S.

You can order actual MINI dirving lights for prett cheap thru Classic Auto Campus (email them at bmwparts@classicautocampus.com), that's what I did, got them for about 30% less than what my MINI dealer charges, the only kicker is you have to do it yourself. BTW, I am not employed by Classic Auto Campus, just like their prices and want to pass along cost saving info for fellow motorers!

P.S. They also stock many other parts for below MSRP, I got the rubber floor mats and aero grilles also
