Looks good for lights if you need that many. Most people choose the 2 rally light option with covers.
Only thing about so many lights is keeping them all safe. Maybe 3M stick on clear protectors would be good. And watch out when you park and sometimes other people will smack into you when parked and could threaten your lights. Some people have thought about adding a push bumper on the front to protect their lights from (SUV) cars that park too close and nudge their minis. Just some concerns.

Otherwise the lights would give you tones of brightness. more useful for dark unlighted rural areas or for rally racing. Some areas have rules about using such lights- might even be illegal- check in your area.

AS long as teh light are on a seperate switch form the headlights then they should be fine.. the law basically says that when you turn you headlights on, only a ceratain amount of lights can come on with it.. ( which is why you see cars that turn off fog light etc when the headlights come on..) I will get some light covers for these if they're a standard size most pep boys autoshops carry generic light covers... I was wondering if anybody had sused them in the us.. I'll try getting in touch with the company, thanks for the heads up.
