Looks pretty cool. I wonder if it's already available for purchase

part # 63122338554

 

Not seen any in real life yet, in Germany dealers are offering them for around €300 but here in the UK they are £350. This is just for supply, not fitted. So that would be $400-$500 Canadian I guess. Once I've seen some I may get some from Germany and save £75 :-)

 

That looks good! Is it the same for the R60?

 

i followed the links and ended up on a german site ... google translated it says for R55 thru R61

Yeah, pretty sure the foglight installs are the same across the range

 

Hmm, looks neat but Halos are kind of overdone and the LED rings/strips aren't far behind.

It's a shame it's so spendy.

 

Agreed.. Overdone.

 

Would be VERY interested. It would tie in the HID lights very nicely. Any idea of source?

 

Currently not available from MINIUSA. You'd have to order from overseas, for example:

BTW, installation instructions: http://www.mini2.info/forum/attachme...8&d=1366880978 (in German)

 

So wait... Are these $400~ for just hte LEDs or is it replacing the entire foglight?

Eitherway, no thanks! Too rich and trying too hard.

 

Those are very interesting and really well executed. Wildly overpriced but I assume will be standard on the new Mini.

 

I like the HID's I put into my fogs.

In winter time those LED lights will be blocked up by snow and ice in a storm rendering them useless.

The heat from Halogen and the HID's keep this from happening.....Function over looks department when it comes to......"illuminate".

It's also important in a snow storm when you want the lowest level of lighting possible to prevent snow hypnosis...lol.
