Is there an OEM or quality aftermarket HID kit to replace my standard fog lights? The yellow fogs just don't look uniform with the OE HID's and really don't do much as far as lighting.

 

I use PIAA lamps, 4500K, look superb

 

Are those HID or regular Xenon bulbs? If so, what's the plug type for the fog lights?

 

interested as well. mayb post a picture ?

Here you go. OEM Quality. Amazing customer service. Great warranty. Just get them, you'll love the way they look, I guarantee it.

Do you have these yourself and is this link for the correct fittment for the R56?

 

+100 for The Retrofit Source. On Calforhelp's advice, I bought the above linked set for my Hella 500 Black Magics and love them. My installer said that he had never seen such a good piece of kit. They are very good and thorough at answering (multiple for me) questions via their contact page.

 

All HID's in the fog lamps will do is make a non functional light brighter. (but no more functional...)

 

Just helping a dude with a question. Besides, his first stated issue was the look. My problem with HID'ing up the fogs would be bothering oncoming drivers.

 

Thanks Melangell. I've thought about it since posting and seeing the effects of putting HID's into a regular reflector housing. Totally aweful! Friend of mine did it with his Yaris. Yea, it's bright AF but the glare and unfocused light is very bad for on coming drivers and even being infront of him. He thinks it's cool cause they look like mine now.
So now my question is, what are the fog light bulbs? H1, 2 etc. What are the park light bulbs as well? Thanks in advance guys.

 

I've put PIAA Extreme Plus in the Headlights, Fogs, and Parking Lights. Fogs are H8, Parking Lights are 5 W 5, this is info. is in your Owner's Manual, my MINI is a 2008 Hatchback.

 

Yea I know, I'm just not near my car right now to get the manual out. I take it you have regular bulbs, not HID headlights? So I think my bulbs are def diff from yours. Thanks for the fogs and PL though. Actually just did a search and found another thread with the info too.
