Has anyone installed the CIBIE Oscar driving lamps on their R53's
Looking to see if anyone has installed the Cibie Oscar lamps on their R53's in the factory driving lamp position

If yes... any feedback/review and photos of your install would be much appreciated.

The 145mm (5.7") size looks like a nice match with good beam pattern/cutoff and good range.

The styling on the lights melds well with the MINI "wings" design cues

Avail in 5.7", 7", 9" sizes.

No (not yet? !) but I'd like to. I'd go for the 7" to match the headlights.
With a longer bolt & something to spread the load, I think they would mount through the grill.

I wonder why they didn't show up when I searched ECS? Anyway, I got a MINI Buddy that wants to put on some lights, maybe I'll talk him into getting these and testing them...
