Looks good, but for that price it should include brackets!

Hellas are excellent lights

Factory Driving Lights

I got my set from Autogoodparts on Ebay for $280. shipped. This is the exact set you would get from Mini. It includes everything needed for the install. Lights, brackets, wiring harness, switch, etc..... They even emailed me a PDF of the install instructions. I think they are like $380 @ the dealer. They were great to deal with and shipped fast.

Current Driving Light Auction

FYI - You'll need a rivet gun ~ $9.00 from Harbor Freight Tools to $20 at Home Depot.

Send a PM to JerseyGirl - she has these lights. They work much better than the factory lights, and there's a mount available for the Hella's that's better than what MINIUSA offers

I bought the lights+harness from rallymotorsports for 129 and bought
the beefy mini madness mounts (from mini madness) for 79. The harness
isn't mini-specific, but worked fine for my application - plus did not have to
get the car reprogrammed - which I think someone said you had to get done
with the factory kit.

No reprogramming needed for the Mini Factory Driving Lights.

I'd say you can definately get better functioning lights for less, but if you want the factory look then I'd go with these. After getting my set I have no reservations recommending a purchase from AutoGoodParts. I say get them!

No problem, always eager to pass on good information! If they don't email you the installation instructions, PM me with your email address and I'll send you the PDFs.
