Finally got pics, and question about Hellas?
Hey finally got pics of my mini, been in South Africa for 6 weeks, just got back couple days ago and got my VIP quad light bar on with some Hella 500ff fogs and driving lights. I only got the fogs hooked up right now but it seems that at idle the lights seem to bounce? I have everything tight on them and I don't remember having this problem years ago with my Subaru. Does any one else have this problem? Maybe I should try tighten them more? I don't want to break the plastic in the adjustment part.

Ok here is one pic, sorry I just upgraded to windows 8 and had to use a free photo editor to make it smaller. Need to upgraded my Corel PaintShopPhoto Pro to use it now.

Have you checked the quad bar for anything loose?

Call VIP. They're very good about answering the telephone and spending time with you about issues.

since the lights are tall and their mount is somewhat thin and way out on the rim there is a tendency for the fixtures to bounce or vibrate - the larger the diameter of the lights the more this will happen
look at page 14 of the install instructions for the OEM kit
http://www.minimania.com/pdfile/NMA3030_INSTR.zip
which addresses 'additional support for auxiliary lights'
essentially a support is added to the back of the light housing about 1/2 way up to stop the bounce . . .
