They seem kind of pricey - why not use oe sourced from Allmag or Redline? DOn't think they'll be any brighter - outmotoring lists that brand as the manufacturer of the oe part. Are yours shot? Fogged? They are not that tough to clean up and get back to looking new again.

Hey Everyone...So what I've found out, Magnetti Marelli is a Italian Company, and from my inspection of a stock Xenon Mini Headlight, and the Magnetti Marelli unit, The Wires going from the High Beam(Xenon) bulb on the Magnetti have a nice braided covering to protect the wires, While my stock light does not, and of course the Wire covering is cracked, and showing bare wires. I Snagged a super deal on a Passenger Side, Magnetti Marelli for $276 bucks,,,but Now I need a Drivers Side. The Search Continues....The Quality Of the Magnetti's look to be a little better than the stock units. Thats my 2 cent anyway

Magnetti Marelli is part of AL automotive lighting (also oem) and is an OEM manufacture like Hella,. Hella might have the contract first from MINI then it goes to Magnetti Marelli

OLSA is also oem for MINI on newer MINIs 2007+ They make the famous Union Jack Taillights. Also from Italy. Under MAGNA. MAGNA makes chassis like the Countryman . https://www.magna.com/company/newsro...500-000th-mini


We carry them, except MAGNA. And if you have questions about brands, most of the time I am the few that works direct with them.

I had a drivers side Xenon in the boot when I bought her, and the kid who sold me the car had replaced the bonnet due to hitting a Deer, So they used the Halogen's that came with the "new" bonnet instead of spending the money on a new Xenon.
