Just installed some new driving lights on Buster!

Super easy install, with all the wires completely hidden from view.

Looks great.

 

Thanks!

Now, if only I can properly aim them.... Haha....

 

Looking good, buddy! Been trying to aim my Black Magics correctly for a year. Kinda more important that I did a HID conversion!

 

How difficult was that one? Haha. I bet it looks sweet. My xenons really block out the actual driving lights, so I am gonna set them for maximum "Get the F*** Out of the Way" to slow people on the interstate....

 

I got this kit from The Retrofit Source. Good quality stuff! It was interesting figuring out where to put the balasts.

Here they are (along with the xenons)!

 

I am gonna bookmark that link, sir....

 

Those look very nice, I wanted to order them with my car but I was then told they would be a $1,300 extra.

 

M'Cooper, the OEM lights are overpriced and installed at the dealer who will charge an absurd amount. I know from personal experience as I got raped by MINI by ordering them (the one thing I didn't properly do my homework on!). I recommend two things to people ordering MINIs: Xenons and DO NOT order the driving lights. As Laardilla and I have done, install Hella 500's, either standard or Black Magics. Much better lights for far less money. Oh, I used and recommend VIP Custom mounts.

P.S.: I also recommend VIP Custom's exhausts paired with an Akrapovic DP (Delete R to suppress CEL).

 

I was concerned with warranty issues if I should have any. That was why I wanted the ones from mini.

 

While everyone is dead on about them being overpriced, I preferred OEM driving lights over aftermarket for the simple reason that they fall within the grille surrounds. Sharp looking. Just my .02 cents...

 

There is that, Albie, but I think the Black Magics (at least with my set-up/see gallery) present an aggressive look. The one thing that I did get from the OEM light's was the off/on button which matches the interior.

M'cooper, I really can't see too many warranty issues with driver's lights but then again as you might tell that issue hasn't slowed me down!

 

I love mine. They are definitely more aggressive looking than the OEM ones from MINI.

 

Where is the link to the Youtube video of said VIP/Akrapovic exhaust?? Haha...

 

Oh yeah... Got it floating around my laptop somewhere.. Will look for it in the am.
